[WSIS CS-Plenary] Wireless Access at Palexpo/WSIS - The costs...

[ljeffrey at ecommons.net]

I was in hall 4 earlier looking for the soon-to-come Canadian pavilion
(stand 230 and 125) and found many users of wireless. All said they had
their own networks set up. No idea how this is working, but there appears
to be some room for workaround. FYI

Friends,
Working right now in ICT 4 D Halle 4, I have just
learned two new interesting aspects to this issue:

1. an hour ago everyone in all halls here was said to
be subject to the same conditions by a source close to
authorities, i.e. paying for wireless Internet access,
including governments; however....

2. I have just seen personally a laptop here enjoying
one of two wireless access alternatives, apparently
one without charges, on a net link containing the word
"CERN."

Best,
Thomas
