Thanks, Peter. I'd like to clarify one point concerning second and third time AP installation costs. You stated: "Enterprise IT spends as much to install an Access Point as the AP costs" Multiply this first time installation by two if the AP is being installed in a commercial building with a large structured wiring plan requiring a union labor shop. Times 3 or 4, when including the cost of running a power circuit up to and along the ceiling, where it will very likely never be used for anything but the AP, if power-over-ethernet (POE) isn't used ;) But as you implied, the incremental costs for a second or third AP in a re-used (i.e., pre-wired) location is marginal.
