Balkanized Wi-Fi at the NECC Conference
I'm pretty annoyed at the Philadelphia convention center's wireless policy. It seems that free wi-fi is available in public corridors, but not in the session rooms. When you try to go online during a session, you get a message informing vendors that it'll cost them 250 bucks a laptop to have public wifi in all meeting spaces. What a joke. Given all the sessions that NECC is finally having on blogging, podcasting, wi-fi, etc, it's an embarrassment that none of us can do this stuff in real-time in so many of the presentation rooms here, unless you're luck enough to have access to one of the few ethernet cables set up for the presenters themselves. So I'll have to step out of the session to post this message. What a pain....
