As long as they never mention "wi-fi" or "blocking" on any construction 
document.  Every little cafe, coffee,  and pizza joint has big ads 
offering free wi-fi, but every business class or higher hotel makes you 
pay a ridiculous amount for it.    Yet they call themselves full 
service.  Weird?

But this only applies to active RF jamming or "deauthorization?" of 
personal Wi-Fi hot spots operating on mobile networks right, not 
construction blocking or Wi-Fi jamming.
