Surely with an average attendance around 40k, and assuming most have smart phones I cannot see a football club signing up for only 10k connections, but then we are talking about the previous boards at Ibrox who seemed to sign anything!!!

I'd imagine the contract would specify seat numbers and a geographical spread that would allow "access". Why would they need 50k fans on wifi at the same time at a fitba game? For a start the costs would be (excuse the pun) through the roof!!

Time will tell.  However, they do claim access for 50k in their own press release.  It doesn't say 50k in batches of 10k at a time.

50k of simultaneous connections would require enormous gb of bandwidth.  But so would 10k relative to your local pub or cafe.

The press release does say "ultimately give every fan seated at Ibrox Stadium - as well as in the approaches, concourse, restaurants and corporate areas - full, instant access to content-rich media " in the previous paragraph.

If this wording is in the contract, the legal eagles involved on both sides will be the real winners.
