Internet access in high-traffic public facilities such as airport terminals, hotels, convention centers, and cafes is a growing phenomenon. In particular, Wi-Fi LANs offer unique capabilities that differentiate venue owners’ public access services, helping attract and retain increasing numbers of customers. But public access networks bring with them a set of challenges – subscriber acquisition, billing, security, device safety, installation obstacles – that small business and home Wi-Fi deployments don’t face.
