> The deputy CTO of New York City’s public school system, Tom Kambouras, has warned school principals that the widespread use of mobile devices, from iPod Touches to Android smartphones, by school employees has overrun the IT department’s capabilities to the point that as of November 10th, no new devices were being allowed to register on the system-wide Wi-Fi network.
