2003 2004



It wasn't so long ago when a "connected campus" meant that every dorm room had its own phone line. But in order to remain competitive nowadays, a college has to support wireless networking, provide high-speed connections to classrooms or even stream video of its classes over the Internet. Today's students depend on technology to live, work and play, and today's colleges have to provide the right tools in order to attract the best applicants.
