Change the bold portion to "field" and I suspect this to be the case--we'll see for sure when the rule is changed tomorrow.

For scouting, this would make it fairly simple to use a remote server--PROVIDED that you could connect through the public wifi or your cell phone data plan. (If there's a venue without public wifi--well, let's just figure that they're behind the times.)

The way I see this reading is this, or something similar: Teams may arrange for phone and Internet access only via existing publicly available networks. Special arrangements for such access directly with the venue are not allowed. Use of field networks and Internet connections is strictly prohibited.
