Re: Internet at Competitions
What would be the fate of a system using NFC (Near Field Communication) also known as Android Beam (Samsung Beam is even cooler, but other devices are available) available on all newer Android devices running Jellybean (and possibly further back than that). File transfer is orders of magnitude faster than bluetooth but works in nearly the same way. As the name implies it requires proximity to function, but I have been 30+' away from somebody and it still worked.
