Just thinking through logically here, as much as I'd love to have free Wi-Fi in the RCC, if this were to eventually happen, it would mean a couple of things...

The way it is now, if something goes wrong with the Wi-Fi in the RCC (which, IME, doesn't happen very often, I suspect the club gets on the phone to some tech support person at T-Mobile and they troubleshoot the issue. If UA rolls out their own free Wi-Fi in the clubs, is there not at least a *chance* that the same IT department that works with .bomb would also be responsible for setting up and maintaining the Wi-Fi network?

I am a big proponent of free Wi-Fi, as I said, but somewhere in the back of my mind, "You get what you pay for..." is lurking. Somehow, I suspect that if free Wi-Fi came to the RCC, we'd be seeing a lot more threads along the lines of "RCC Wi-Fi too slow!" or "RCC Wi-Fi down for maintenance for a month."
