Re: "Absolutely no right"?

There's still plenty of debate over whether a landlord or a spectrum user has the right of way....
Well in this case, "landlord" has nothing to do with it: en loco parentis-type reasoning has been dramatically on the upswing, with colleges legally being able to do nearly anything in the place of the parent.

| A lot of it depends on if they operate these Waterview Apartments or not plays a big role:

You know there are lawyers who would have fun fighting this on behalf of some "opressed" young hotspot owner. There's some holes to drive through.... |

UTD owns the land that the Waterview Apartments use. the Waterview Apartments are "independantly operated", however because UTD owns the land, they do have a say as to how the apartments are operated. |

| Well still, it's not clear that land ownership means you can regulate the airwaves flying across your property. That's been a big debate at the major airports:

| Well that's a fair argument, but there was widespread suspicion that the airports simply wanted to treat it as a revenue issue. In the case of UT, they do permit wireless access point usage as long as it's set up in a non-interfering manner, so they have a much better case for a legitimate reason for restrictions than does the airport.

| I'm not sure of the legalities behind it... But by owning land, you usually own the surface-down to a specified max. By using airwave (FCC domain), even if originating from within your premise, I wonder the kind of argument you have, and whether you can/cannot enforce it.
I guess you'd have a case on the point of origin of the wave, eventhough, it seem you would have to ban the hardware altogether, not the servicing...
Any thoughts?
