Contact information

Eduroam does not provide contact information to the hosting campus.  This causes problems in the event of infringement notices, legal investigations, and or vulnerabilities detected in guests' computers.

ucroam could be built to support sending contact information.  This could cause problems for future interoperability with Europe, because of their privacy laws.

UCTrust Wireless could be built to support sending contact information.  This would not cause interoperability problems with Europe, as Shibboleth can obtain end-user permission to release contact information.

Campus readiness

UCD will likely join eduroam, as will UCLA. UCB and UCR do not currently support 802.1x, a prerequisite for eduroam.

UCD and UCLA should be able to join without much effort. UCB and UCR do not currently support 802.1x, a prerequisite for ucroam.

UCLA has integrated Shibboleth into its captive portal but would need to add attributes for contact information.  Other campuses would need to integrate Shibboleth and the contact attributes.

Automatic presentation of host campus policy, etc.

The 802.1x technology used by eduroam precludes automatic presentation of policy and other information about the host campus.

The 802.1x technology that would be used by ucroam precludes automatic presentation of policy and other information about the host campus.

The "captive portal" technology that would be used by UCTrust Wireless would allow host campuses to present arbitrary information at login time.
