On chatting with a client, she reminded me when we tried to set up wi fi
access so people could scan the QR code we=B9d set up that we were told it
would be an exorbitant amount if we wanted to provide free wi fi for client=
s
(I=B9m gapping on where that was).. So I guess in conference centres, this is
not so unusual. The question to the group is, Why? Do they have liability
concerns? What=B9s the big deal? Curious now. I feel a blog coming on....
