    I avoid all wifi, except SSIDs which I know and trust.

    I believe eduroam is like govwifi, you have some personal credentials
    that are stored centrally (ldap?) and can be queried via known radius servers with known shared secrets, to allow or block access to wifi,
    without the specific wifi point you're using knowing you from adam?

    Yes, I believe govwifi is a clone of Eduroam, I think everything works the
    same except a different database of radius servers.
