WSOP providing free wireless internet in tourney hallways

The WSOP announced this week that they will be providing free wireless internet in the tournament area at the Rio. It says that it will be available in the hallways... They are expecting more players to tweet when not in a hand.

I have a link from another website, but I am not sure if I can post it here.

Makes tweeting updates easier...and cheaper

Yep...though I bet there will be a number of people asked to stop playing online poker in the casino.

Not sure how they are going to limit wireless just to the hallways.

Yeah, I thought the same thing myself.

There are no specifics, but my guess is that they mean that they will setup the access points in the hallway, which will provide access through the Amazon Room and all other rooms in the vicinity. They do make a reference to wanting to allow players the ability to tweet when not in a hand...
