Duke University Shifts Blame To Cisco

HellasVagabond · Jul 22, 2007

A few days ago, Duke University blamed Apple and its iPhone for causing problems with their wireless network. More specifically, the problem involved failures of up to 30 wireless access points at a time across Duke's Durham, N.C. campus. Now Duke's chief information officer Tracey Futhey had this to say:

Cisco worked closely with Duke and Apple to identify the source of this problem, which was caused by a Cisco-based network issue. Cisco has provided a fix that has been applied to Duke's network and there have been no recurrences of the problem since

Didnt they say in that news story earlier, that Cisco wasnt to blame and that they had checked all the hardware and found no issues?

Someone needs to start taking responsibility for their own actions. If something happens to you, it's not someone else's fault.

I thought we had also agreed it had something minor to do with the capabilities of their IT support!?!
