They do things that no dorm room was ever designed to support. Then, at 9:00 at night, suddenly everybody is streaming movies, and three quarters of them are streaming wirelessly.” You’ve got to innovate far and fast to stay ahead of a user community like university students. And sometimes you just need fatter pipe more than you need innovation.

Besides, it’s asking for a brain drain from the boring, eternal work of keeping data flowing smoothly to the whiz-bang frontiers of IT innovation.
