Duke U. Says iPhones Are Innocent
Reports of iPhones’ network-wrecking capabilities have been greatly exaggerated, or so it would seem. Last week Duke University accused the stylish cellphones of periodically knocking out many of its wireless routers for brief stretches of time, but now campus officials have exonerated the devices.
As it turns out, Duke’s router problems were caused by an unspecified “particular set of conditions” intrinsic to the university’s large wireless network, said Tracy Futhey, Duke’s vice president for information technology, in a written statement.
No other institutions have reported any iPhone-related network issues, so it looks like the devices are no threat to college networks after all. —Brock Read
