Abstract: A limited-access environment is established to which admittance is controlled by an authority. Carrying of unapproved wireless communication devices into the environment is prohibited. Approved wireless communication devices are distributed, e.g. rented, under the authority's control for use within the environment. Rental fees may be collected for use of the device. The approved device may be specially configured to comply with rules applicable to the environment and/or to provide environment-relevant information, such as scoring and other information in context of a golf tournament event. The device may be specially configured with advertisements or other advertising indicia indicating sponsorship, etc., thereby providing the authority with advertising-related revenues.
