Thanks everyone for the responses – they definitely contribute to our understanding of whether to pursue a high density wifi installment for the theaters and concert halls. Looks like we’ll work with the building folks to put as much as possible in during the construction phase. Mary Bull Netwo

RE: Theater wifi - to have or not to have
