Sad really as we use eduroam to authenticate people over the SOWN  
network, however there is currently an issue somewhere with the  
peering between ECS and the eduroam network.

We are contemplating the possibility of peering directly to the  
eduroam network rather than via soton iSolutions, this is now further  
enforced if iSolutions don't view eduroam as a supported service.

Thoughts Jules?
