Toshiba to build hotspots in UK soccer stadiums: It will start with two fields but will expand to the rest if the deployment is a success. Toshiba says it's targeting photographers, journalists, and business execs, who might use PDAs to check scores or do email. There's no mention of hooligans using the network to figure out where to hang out after the game.
The New York stadiums (Shea and Yankee) already have this. David Pokress, a photographer for Newsday told me this when he came to do a photo shoot at Rockabilly Barbers. The photogs all got together and put it in.
I know British soccer fans don't have the best of reputations, but that headline is just a little sensationalist, donchathink?
Please don't assume that all football fans are hooligans. This just reaffirms stereotypes
