Ultra-connected student halls

Three fascinating days with potential ISP suppliers for our new ultra-connected halls of residence. They now get just how ground-breaking we want to be here. We've got nearly 5000 of the most tech-savvy, exacting consumers of cyber content on the planet and yes they do want unlimited bandwidth, totally ubiquitous and seamless wireless, at least four wired connections, simultaneous connectivity for at least five devices (e.g. iPad+laptop+xbox+smartphone+internet ready TV), all the broadcast IPTV channels you can think of, an almost private link to the data centres hosting 4oD, iPlayer, love film, netflix, Spotify....etc. And no we don't want to get in their way, tell them what to do or control their data download rates. As long as it's legal its OK. We want to watch and learn. Not much to ask.
