What happens when the UN holds an "Internet Summit" with no internet access?

[Queasy]

Ironing

You?d think that of all places that should have speedy and reliable Internet access, a United Nations summit on the Internet would be high on the list.

Not quite. The organizers of the summit, held at a luxury resort hotel on the Athenian Riveria not far from the city center, couldn?t even provide a working Internet connection.

The wireless connection in the main conference hall appeared briefly before dying and leaving attendees bereft of the Net on Monday. Trying to connect to the base station yielded only a ?could not connect to the network? error.

It was no better on Tuesday ? by that time, the conference organizers apparently gave up and took the connection offline completely.

:laugh:

People with no clue, no knowledge of the issue, and no access to the issue they're discussing, yet they're the ones with all the power over it.

They probably stuck a D-Link wireless router in the room and figured that everyone could just connect to it just fine. Wonder how many people were actually there.

But honestly, it's the stupid hotel's fault. How could you not prepare for something like this and make sure you had a backup plan.
