As soon as I powered up at UTC the signal meter in the icon tray told me I had a strong signal. I hit Internet Explorer and was instantly online so I also know they also had a broadband or T3 connection. I didn't see any signs advertising the wireless or let alone forbidden it.

Our team also made good use of this at the regional. A couple of kids brought their laptops, and there were outlets available in the upper level of the theater, as well as in our pits. I'm fairly certain that it was 782 that provided this service, although I could be wrong, as there were signs posted on the walls throughout the theater and pits that Wireless Internet was provided (Was this provided by the meadows or first?) I think there was a sign on the staircase near the concessions and where some of the volunteers sat.
EDIT: Also, at Philly, I believe there was one team that set up a wireless router. We had issues connecting, however, as I think they had a WEP key on it. Also, trying from my seat in the Georgiadome, I could not connect or even detect a wireless network, although i saw some people on the internet near the pits.
