Broadband connection - 80 pounds a DAY!

.... if you want an ADSL connection on your stand at the NEC Birmingham. And
it's only 256Kb.

I wouldn't imagine it's a case of just plugging in and go.
I would have thought there'd be some IT staff dealing with the network
therein.

I expect £80 a day is fair game for facilities when you look at what
goes on 'behind-the-scenes'.

Besides, companies expect to pay those sorts of costs anyway. I have a
mate who hires conference equipment out for big bucks, and he's never
looking for work.

Captive market. Hotdog stall bleats about rip-off broadband and then
charges £5 a dog and £2 for a can of coke.

3G mobile datacards go faster than that, and for a lot less money!

Exactly. Businesses are obviously prepared to pay £80 a day for broadband.

They wouldn't be allowed to confiscate them if you claimed you needed
your own sandwiches for dietary or religious reasons.
