Description: Recent Pew Research has shown that 95% of all teens use the internet, 58% of all adults own a cell phone and the ownership of tablets jumped from 18% in December 2012 to 29% in January 2013. This phenomenal growth in personal devices has schools, libraries and businesses struggling to address Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and the infrastructure needed to support it. One school district reports over 16,000 devices connecting in a five minute period, strong evidence that Community Anchor Institutions (CAI’s) bandwidth needs far outpace that of a residential connection. This panel will highlight BYOD initiatives including planning, policy and infrastructure needed for a successful outcome.
