This is the culmination of about two years of negotiation and work involving TENET, CHEC, the four Western Cape universities, and of course the City of Cape Town. While this might not be significant achievement in Europe, it is in South Africa: as far as we are aware it is the first instance of eduroam hosted on city-wide and city-owned infrastructure in Africa.<br><br>Our press release about this was sent to local media this morning, and is available at <a href="https://www.tenet.ac.za/news/eduroam-coct-libraries-jul-2019">https://www.tenet.ac.za/news/eduroam-coct-libraries-jul-2019</a><br><br>Publicity of this is important if we want to be able to use the CoCT success to persuade other cities to follow suit.
