Hi Karen, I understand your point, which somehow has been replied by some other comments in the list such as: - Is not so clear that this technology (a) will still work if all use it. - We are asking to change to 75% of the attendees. - 50USD may be a lot for some people. Moreover, my comment comes basically from the perspective of understanding that is a lack of information what it matters here. It may have been my own ignorance regarding the theoretical advantages of a versus b/g, which make me assume that it was just a question of more APs or something similar, because my previous experience in b/g only networks, has always been good except in IETF meetings. Of course, the number of people using it was not so big. Some times it may be better to have a more detailed explanation from the NOC about why this decision is taken, instead of just providing the decision and full stop. That probably could have avoided the complete thread (which was very informative in any case, but may be not so much in other similar situations).
