Of customer service. Got ya! No really, apparently Nntendo is spending major money on setting up some tech support groups and systems to help people get their Wii online. I mean, really? Are people having problems with this? You plug in a router with wifi, you turn that on. You plug in the Wii, you turn that on and find your router with it. With recent setups for home routers, setup is pretty frickin' hard to get wrong. I just have to wonder if this is necessary.

You know, considering that they might better focus on providing a REASON to get the system online :D. Come on it had to be said.

You have to consider the large amount of people buying Wiis, though. A lot of them probably have very little experience setting up a network, and might have paid to have their wireless router setup. I had a problem getting my Wii online that I fixed by changing the router's broadcast channel, but most people would have no idea how to do that or even think of it.
