Hello Don and all,
If their DSL doesn't allow it, the following ISP's have modified
their Terms of Service to allow wireless community sharing, AceDSL.net,
Bway.net, Cloud9.net, and Speakeasy.net. Adding an open wireless network
has other benefits such as increasing PR for the pool hall. I'll email
you offlist to discuss this further.

i'm sure the owners (the hunt brothers) would be open to the idea if it
can be done legally (within their isp's guidelines for the service
they're already paying for...i believe they have a dsl line in the
office), and if it would increase profit.
not sure if the isp would have a problem with an open wifi network...or
if the charges would go up, but it has to be legal.
i'm 100% convinced the increased traffic during normal work hours will
increase profit for them. but word would have to get out...they can
handle that with fliers and word of mouth...not to mention that once
it's posted on the azbilliards.com forum, everyone'll know. :D
i'm a macsysadmin (http://donmontalvo.com) so i can help make this
happen...plus i've been going to the poolroom for years and am an
a-class player so i have some pull.
the bottom line is the owners are tech-challenged and if it can be
explained to them in a way they could understand...if they can be
convinced they'll make money...it's pretty dooable.
i figure a couple of access points and the place could have complete
coverage inside...not sure about outside (or even if the owners would
want outside connectivity).
:)
