It’s easy to take connectivity for granted. Although there is still a digital divide in some rural parts of the United States, many enjoy ubiquitous connectivity in the form of fiber home broadband, mobile network services and public Wi-Fi. However, where connectivity begins to break down in my humble opinion is in sport and entertainment venues. I have lamented in past social media posts about my experiences at the Circuit of the Americas in my hometown of Austin, as well as the Alamodome in nearby San Antonio. It is a frustrating proposition when fan, concession and social media apps simply don’t work in a crowded venue because of oversubscribed Wi-Fi and mobile networks.
