Hi Karen,
I understand your point, which somehow has been replied by some other
comments in the list such as:
- Is not so clear that this technology (a) will still work if all use it.
- We are asking to change to 75% of the attendees.
- 50USD may be a lot for some people.
Moreover, my comment comes basically from the perspective of understanding
that is a lack of information what it matters here. It may have been my own
ignorance regarding the theoretical advantages of a versus b/g, which make
me assume that it was just a question of more APs or something similar,
because my previous experience in b/g only networks, has always been good
except in IETF meetings. Of course, the number of people using it was not so
big.
Some times it may be better to have a more detailed explanation from the NOC
about why this decision is taken, instead of just providing the decision and
full stop. That probably could have avoided the complete thread (which was
very informative in any case, but may be not so much in other similar
situations).
Regards,
Jordi

Asunto: RE: Meeting Survey Results
Jordi,
Don't want to start a new useless thread here, my point was
basically to
show that b/g has a wider adoption and 75% of the laptops don't have
built-in a, so it makes sense to make additional effort to
get it working.
My basic problem with this and previous comments on this topic
from you is the implication that with better planning and/or
additional effort the problems would be solved. If you believe
this to be so, then please share that technical knowledge. I have
been involved in most of the IETF wireless networks for the last
three years. We don't plan in advance to deploy wireless networks
with issues. Some of what I consider the best in the business have
worked on this over the years, and we still run into issues.
Concrete technical suggestions for improvements and contributions
of resources (equipment and people) are welcome. Just telling us
to put forth "additional effort to get it working" doesn't get
the job done.
Karen
