 Perhaps we could ask for Wikipedia to be included in that free access,
 post-Olympics?

 In all languages? With a QR code (QRpedia) at each station?

I like your thinking!

Monmouth has hassle free access to all wiki sites and doesnt even ask for

We should support Hassle free access to WiFi as its in line with the free
bit

Hassle free has to be balanced with best-practice on security. it'll
only take one bad incident, with press coverage to get a network
closed down, or its (and possibly our)  reputation destroyed.
