Duke Eyes New Apple IPhone As Source of Wireless Network Problem

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- Apple Inc.'s flashy new iPhones may be jamming parts
of the wireless network at Duke University, where technology officials
worked with the company Wednesday to fix problems before classes begin next
month.

Bill Cannon, a Duke technology spokesman, said an analysis of traffic found
that iPhones flooded parts of the campus' wireless network with access
requests, freezing parts of the system for 10 minutes at a time.

A single iPhone was powerful enough to cause the problem, and there are 100
to 150 of them registered on the network, Cannon said. Network
administrators have noticed the problem nine times in the past week.
