I think they just don't make enough on events to justify outfitting their entire building with wifi. I find it more and more amusing how technology people always assume that we are the center of the world. The fact is that this isn't how the service industry makes their money. It's a side thing. Don't expect them to have wifi everywhere because the rest of the world below the 1% we belong to couldn't care less about wifi penetration. But yeah it's annoying.
