Hi list,
I just read over: http://www.nanog.org/mtg-0302/ppt/joel.pdf because I am on the
PyCon ( http://us.pycon.org ) team and last year the hotel supplied wifi for the
600 attendees was a disaster (they probably were not expecting every single one
to have and use a laptop the whole time). Joel's pdf was for a conference in
2002 or 3, so I am hoping much has changed. But from what I have found, I think
my hopes may be just a dream.
Does anyone have any advice or URLs of more recent case studdies in supplying
wifi for 600 laptop wielding geeks?
Thanks,
Carl K
ps, Google is one of our sponsors, and I see that they want to be the next
inertube or something - maybe we can get them to do it :)
