Interesting updates Bill. A great move by Entain/the TAB although not quite a flick oi the switch. Some background from late last year. "TAB NZ provided some funding to Racing NZ to improve connectivity at various racing venues. Racing NZ then worked with Entain and it was agreed to provide a wifi solution at all race meetings at the 15 x Thoroughbred and Harness tracks where the domestic mobile network coverage was assessed as 'poor'.  The solution at the 'poor' venues is an onerous and costly solution, which involves significant labour even once fixed wiring is installed...."   One would think that wifi will be on RCP's infrastructure checklist.
