Journalists hit with $200 Wi-Fi bill for presidential debates - CNET: "Members of the press can expect to pay $200 to access a wireless network during Monday evening's presidential debate at Long Island's Hofstra University. And if they want more, they will be paying more. According to the university's media rate sheet (PDF), a phone line with secured Ethernet runs $600 and unlimited wireless access for 20 or more devices will run $3,500."



"It's not immediately clear what Hofstra's legal basis for this action is since the Federal Communications Commission issued an enforcement advisory last year that said blocking an individual's personal Wi-Fi hotspot is illegal."
