Wi-Fi too costly for University of Montana all-campus connection

"No network access" can be the most annoying words in the world for a college student. With more and more classes moving to an online format, homework and readings posted on Moodle, and registration through OneStop and Cyberbear, the Internet has become an essential part of the life of a University of Montana student, and not being able to connect to it easily can be a real pain.

Though UM provides students living in University housing with Internet access, the University has yet to provide students with universal wireless Internet. Knowles Hall is the only residence hall with full wireless Internet coverage, which was installed halfway through the 2011-2012 school year. Jesse Neidigh, the director of Student Affairs IT, said Knowles Hall is serving as a test in order to work out a system for equipping the rest of the halls with wireless Internet.
