| 261116 | 2004-08-12 22:54:00 | Hey guy, i really need some help here. Im a postgrad student at otago uni, and as part of my study i have to conduct a survey. One of the questions i want to ask i to try asses wheather people see wireless security as a threat, or if its percived wireless security (ie thier friends told them it is insecure, so no they think it is) Any ideas how i could test this theory while asking questions? Any help would be much apprecated |

| 261118 | 2004-08-13 05:07:00 | True. Yes this is only a small part of the research that im doing. My hypothesis for this section is along the lines of "If security is the main influence on the adoption of wireless in new zelalan business's, is it actual security worries, or percived security wories" Any more ideas? |

| 261119 | 2004-08-13 10:50:00 | I work for a large IT service firm (beginning with Computer and ending with Land) and a lot of the people there are like "it'll never take off until it's secured." but the thing is it is secured now. TKIP sees to that quite well. the problem is that everyone picks up on negative vibes a lot faster than positive ones. For example in this forum you're more likely to see complaints about a particular product than compliments - it'll be people asking for help or just whinging in general. Another way to look at it is that a happy customer will tell at least one other person whereas an unhappy customer will tell at least ten. The point is that all you hear in NZ is "boohoo wireless is insecure and crap and unreliable" well, yes.. .b is insecure and woosh hasnt done wonders for the technologies' reputation, but if properly implimented wireless is just as secure and well-performing as wired. |
