In a statement, Smart City president Mark Haley described the blocking techniques as a standard within the convention business, and said fewer than one percent of devices were deauthenticated by the system. "We have always acted in good faith, and we had no prior notice that the FCC considered the use of this standardized, ‘available-out-of-the-box’ technology to be a violation of its rules,"
Really, Mark?

Smart City typically charged users $80 a day to access the company's Wi-Fi networks, operating in convention centers in Cincinnati, Columbus, Indianapolis, Orlando, and Phoenix. In June 2014, the comission received a complaint that the company was using spectrum interference to prevent convention-goers from connecting through personal Wi-Fi networks, a violation of carriers' legal right to operate.
Neither you nor anyone in your entire company ever thought that hardware which blocks legit Wi-Fi traffic was something that might piss off your consumers and be illegal?
