From the Duke University website:
Cisco worked closely with Duke and Apple to identify the source of this problem, which was caused by a Cisco-based network issue. Cisco has provided a fix that has been applied to Duke’s network and there have been no recurrences of the problem since. We are working diligently to fully characterize the issue and will have additional information as soon as possible. Earlier reports that this was a problem with the iPhone in particular have proved to be inaccurate.
No mention of the fact that the inaccurate, earlier reports were from Duke’s own staff.

This is EXACTLY the kind of negative reporting that I was beefing about over on Ed Cone’s blog. People jump at the conclusion that it was the iPhone for some reason. Probably because its new and it couldn’t *possibly* be due to something that has been there a while.
No apologies to Apple. Typical.
