Recently over at ChurchIT, we have been having a bit of a discussion regarding WiFi networks, namely Open vs Secure.
I am personally someone who is very happy to have open WiFi networks, but for me, that is probably for a couple of reasons:

You only pay for the AWS resources you consume, and you have full control over your live streaming origin server (Adobe’s Flash Media Server running on Amazon EC2) — so you can configure it to best work with the specific nature of your event.
On demand pricing is as follows:
