Spotty Wi-Fi Coverage At NECC
The Educational Mac: Adding to the Chorus of Boos
Over at The Educational Mac, Kelly Dumont laments the spotty Wi-Fi coverage at NECC. Turns out many of the session rooms do not have access. With all the emphasis on weblogs this year, and with a very large number of folks actively blogging the conference you would think there would be better coverage. Maybe time for a bit of guerrilla networking. Maybe go up and offer to help the speaker set up their laptop as an access point…
Kelly is also posting podcasts about NECC… His feed is now available from within Apple’s iTunes which now allows you to subscribe to Podcasts.

Yeah, the spotty coverage was really maddening - and quite ironic since Philly is leading the fight for municipal wi-fi. I really found it outrageous trying to go online and instead getting a message encouraging vendors to pay $250 a laptop for ubiquitous access in the convention center. On at least two occasions I had to leave sessions in order to update my blog. Very, very frustrating… -andy
