Gary Probst replied: This has never been a problem for us since we hired a qualified person. Most colleges I know of network all of their CAI. A computer network engineer, CNE, starting salary usually is over 50k -60k. The problem is most colleges will not pay this salary for a learning lab. In the future you probably will receive all of your CAI over the Internet. This has already happened with some business software applications.
