I can witness first hand that the situation is much worse at the IETF meetings than at the IEEE ones. Practically, the network is perfect at most IEEE meetings. True, I believe that they are outsourcing the network deployment and its maintenance during the meeting. As I will be attending the IEEE 802 meeting next week (in Vancouver, but at a different hotel) I will be able to report by the end of the week how it was. Anyway, it hardly can be worse than at the IETF meeting. During this whole IETF week I could almost never connect during the meetings. I had to wait for the lunch break when everybody was away, or to go to my room (at the 7th floor in the tower) to be able to connect to the IETF wireless network.
