Deployment is an issue, I would have preferred an option to use iTunes  
to push out the profile ( drop the on the playlist device would be a  
nice way ) but that not the case right now.

At RMIT we do have an open wireless network option that all devices  
can get to. You can pull the profile down from the web site ( and that  
about all you can do on that network), install it and then then jump  
back to the encrypted network.
