In a tech-dependent town like this one? Can Go Networks/Pavlov be convinced by the City to turn SSH on? Something like 1. Convince City of Champaign that a) Alpha-geeks are far happier with SSH. Champaign wants these people happy, whether residents or visitors: from their ranks come new tax-paying local tech businesses and local-economy-vital UIUC world-tech-leader status. They wouldn't for example, want a visiting entrepreneurially-bent academic, contemplating a UIUC job, to turn on her laptop in downtown Champaign, attempt to check a running process back home, then shout "idiotic Champaign wireless! I knew this small town would suck, I'm definitely taking that position at Berkeley." b) SSH is how users will communicate with the computers we are famous for, like, say, the coming $200M Fastest Computer in The Freaking World. c) Blocking SSH doesn't prevent bad behavior; similarly abusive/ bandwdith-abusive behavior can happen over http. 2. Convinced by such arguments, and motivated soley by forward- thinking tax greed, Champaign tells Go Networks / Pavolv "unblock SSH".
