Please do not do it. We are working very hard to provide a top-notch wi-fi experience and the last thing we need is random radio devices that interfere with our access points. We worked on all fronts to improve connectivity; more bandwidth, more radio apparatus and the experience of very smart gu

As I understand, 3G signal is weak in the hotel and the hotel wifi is overcrowded. Therefore, could we consider setting up one (or more) of our own 3G devices (outside the wall, e.g. on a window) that shares itself over wifi to the conference guests? Unless of course it's too much fuss, or too e
