BYOD: Bring Your Own Device - or Bring Your Own Disaster?

Re: Savings?

Also most of the BYO devices will require wireless connections. I'm a network tech and work in a university where we've begun the whole BYOD thing. We've spent a fortune this last year due to the amount of new devices wanting connections to the internet. Black spots need to be covered, drop outs due to excessive traffic, and that's just the learners. Earlier Android tablets don't have a proxy authentication option, iPhones/pads/pods have issues with certain channels on the wireless. While on the outside it looks cool and seems a great idea, the inside is a nightmare to keep that sort of stuff running smoothly and costs a fortune if you have significantly high usage.
