Internet to be allowed at Events

Seems like some type of internet access will be allowed at events. Tethering through your phone?

Q413 Q. What is the intent of the below bullet for section 4.14 of the Admin Manual? -Do not arrange for Internet access or phone lines on the site or attempt to connect to the Internet.

A. "Do not attempt to connect to the Internet" sound a little harsh, doesn't it? What, are we planning to confiscate everyone's smartphones as they walk in the door? Sorry, this is an antiquated rule, thanks for pointing it out! We'll fix it in Team Update 2015-02-24. What we care about in this context is that teams not make their own phone (sorry dial-up users) or internet arrangements with venues or attempt to use the internet connection intended for the field for their own purposes. All other wireless and networking rules in the manual must continue to be followed, of course.
Maybe I should give the rule book another good read to see what else they may want to update.
