It will be interesting to see if ICANN has as much trouble,
or IEEE during the intermediate week.
I have heard an interesting bit of anecdotal evidence that
indicates the situation is worse at IETF meetings then at
other meetings. I questioned it, but who knows?
a.
I know. I am attending both the IEEE 802 Plenary meetings and the IETF
meetings for many years. I can witness first hand that the situation is
much worse at the IETF meetings than at the IEEE ones. Practically, the
network is perfect at most IEEE meetings. True, I believe that they are
outsourcing the network deployment and its maintenance during the
meeting.
As I will be attending the IEEE 802 meeting next week (in Vancouver, but
at a different hotel) I will be able to report by the end of the week
how it was. Anyway, it hardly can be worse than at the IETF meeting.
During this whole IETF week I could almost never connect during the
meetings. I had to wait for the lunch break when everybody was away, or
to go to my room (at the 7th floor in the tower) to be able to connect
to the IETF wireless network.
Regards,
Dan
