As can be seen from Table 4-3, only participant P had actually found help from the IT department to find out where were the WLANs provided. Participant E and A worked it out by browsing the official website of UNITEC New Zealand. Participant S liked to carry a school map on him and check out where he wanted to connect to the WLANs. The types of Internet connection showed that participant B was the only one with dial-up connection. Participants S, A and MC stated that they had broadband connection at home. The remaining participants had only one type of Internet connection, which was wireless. All of those participants certainly use wireless connection on campus. But they did not state whether they used wireless at home. Most participants did not know whether there were terms and conditions or not. Some of them stated some conditions might be: � Enrol as Unitec student � Username and password. Most of the interviewees thought the WLANs were restricted to people with a student account. Participants E, L, A and P had some different opinions on places, time and courses currently being taken. All students use the same on-campus WLANs, but the interview participants had different experiences with speed. The answers varied from very slow to fast. The speed of WLANs may influence the satisfaction of the WLANs. Participant L thought the WLANs were poor because the speed was very slow. The following sections present responses from each interview participant. The table on the next page (Table 4-4) shows the completion status of the interview questions by interviewees. 66
