[Scale-planning] [Tech] wifi SSID WAS Re: Signage

[David Lang]

Yep, as we've seen in the past, if we don't provide rock-solid access to the 
show floor, they will set something up themselves. They are used to shows where 
the provided wireless doesn't work well, if at all. Scale is one of the few 
places where they don't need to do their own.
