But other classroom buildings, like Sever and Harvard Halls, are not likely to go wireless in the near future.

Davis and Steen said student demand for wireless lecture halls was low and covering those buildings would be a complicated endeavor.

Steen also said some faculty have objected to wireless classrooms, where students could log on the Internet and log out of class.

“There have been some concerns about the students in class, and what students would be doing,” Steen said. “But we haven’t seen any big outcry.”

The University continues to float the possibility of outdoor wireless access in the Yard itself, but the area’s horticulture has impeded progress.

Steen said Harvard had previously attempted to saturate the area with antennas placed above William James and the Holyoke Center, but trees in the Yard blocked the signal.

Efforts at Harvard Stadium have been more successful. The recent installation of wireless in the press box of the stadium has provided collateral access in the stands—but, alas, only on the home side.
