We need to find a way for the core IETFF meeting to have Internet
access service that demonstrates very high reliability, from the start
of our using it, just like do for any other essential utility.
...and to do it all for zero cost.
actually I haven't attended an IETF meeting in the past several years
where I didn't get the impression that we'd be much more effective
at getting work done _without_ wireless access. large rooms that are
full of people sitting down typing on laptops and not paying attention
to what is being said are not conducive to getting work done - even
among the people who are paying attention. it further exacerbates the
phenomenon where meetings consist of highly scripted presentations
rather than discussion time. most people don't pay attention to the
presentations because the information content is so low, so they use
their laptops to keep them occupied.
if we could get rid of wireless and powerpoint, we'd be much better off.
