Who's to blame?by Claudia Sonea

The first widespread deployment of iPhones in a wireless network wrecked Wi-Fi havoc on campus of Duke University. Kevin Miller, Duke's assistant director of communications infrastructure declared that the iPhones on campus knocked out access points for 10 to 15 minutes at a time. It's not yet a severe problem because there are only 150 iPhones on campus due to the fact that school starts full sessions later in August. Andrew Storms, nCircle director of security operations, said that no technical expert with first-hand knowledge has analysed the problem yet, so there is no way to determine who's to blame- although both Duke staff and Apple point the finger at each others. Moreover there is something else to concerned about, beyond the usual game of "the escape goat". Experts(both nCircle and Gartner) say that iPhones might pose serious security risks to the enterprise. According to them you might turn out to be a criminal, only by using your BlackBerry. This may seem hilarious but it is not, you may transform your iPhone into a bomb. Watch out good fellows this network isn't to be made fun of, it's not trustworthy and you should approach it in consequence, till further notice.
