Given each IETF has 1200-ish delegates, paying $500US, there is $600K dollars
to hand for IETF.

How about removing some of those ghastly fattening breakfast/break pastries
and replacing them with the more basic breads that always disappear first
in the morning, and using the savings towards wireless? :)   [Getting a
healthy breakfast/snack in the IETF corridors is a separate thread...:]

The wireless is something we will have a growing dependency on; there were
many sessions that had no jabber log due to the failing network, nor could
attendees in the room see comments from remote participants/friends.
