Great Question and we’ve thought about the same thing. We’ve recently been
doing a hybrid of this at local festivals, and concerts where we trade
advertising for Wifi connectivity. Our most recent one we found that in the
e500 and were able to setup a “splash” page where the customer would approve
our terms and conditions followed by landing on our webpage. I believe there
was also bandwidth settings, and the capability to block pages if I recall. I
can get you more info if you’d like.
