iPhone was not to blame for Duke University's network problems this week


When Duke University started having network problems early this week, Duke's Office of Information Technology rushed to blame the new iPhones on campus. It has now been confirmed that the problem was caused by a faulty Cisco wireless access point.

Macworld reported that Duke's chief information officer has posted a statement to the university's web site admitting that "Earlier reports that this was a problem with the iPhone in particular have proved to be inaccurate." In other words, Kevin Miller in the Office of Information Technology jumped to a false conclusion. The article at Macworld says, "It would appear at this point that Miller made his statements without a full report or any basis to blame the iPhone or Apple for the problems."
