Hopefully. But only the two hotels listed there have agreements and

Yeah, and people (as usual) complained that they could get much better
rates outside the IETF block. Can't win that one.
Perhaps not (there will always be a Motel 6 or some such down the road), but
that's not the question & definitely not the problem. The question is why,
when the IETF has essentially promised to fill the Shangri-La Beijing for
the week, is it possible to book a room on the Shangri-La Web site right now
for the entire week of the meeting at less than the IETF rate?
Really? I have just tried that, and got the same 1300 RMB with or without
the promotion code.
Nevertheless, does it not put the lie to the idea that the IETF is getting a
deal (except maybe a bad one)?
I can get cheaper rates for the week before or the week after, but entering
7th-12th of November gives me just the 1300 RMB rate.
