Wi-Fi becomes Woe-Fi down at the Messe

The Public Wireless LAN server kept giving intermittent messages meaning woe-fi, rather than wi-fi for those hoping to browse their spam while chomping on a Bockwurst.

Queues formed at the so-called Information Centre where cards had to be bought on the spot, rather than online, leading to widespread congestion.

Neverthless, charges for the Wireless LAN weren't exorbitant. Ten hours cost you 85 Euros, with lower hourly rates available. The trouble is, unless you managed to log out, the minutes just started ticking away regardless, with frustrated end users casting dagger looks at the hard pressed staff behind the counter.
