Security concerns are the primary reasons (viruses/Trojans/spyware,
hacking, casing) with support a close second.
We have a VLAN set up off a DMZ of our firewall that provides throttled
Internet access. This VLAN is accessible via a second SSID on our AP's
that's completely open. You can also jack into any switch port, and if
your MAC address isn't known to our RADIUS server, you'll also be thrown
onto that guest VLAN. In the future, we'll probably add captive
authentication to this Internet access to prevent neighborhood abuse,
but if we do so we'll need to work out access for guests/parents/etc.
