One conference I went to (I can't remember if it was > NANOG or USENIX) provided dial-in on a hotel extension, which was useful! The hotel of the future, giving you 10/100 switched ethernet to the room (a hub at extra charge), and the hotel then gets an uplink to X NSP, based on number of rooms and average usage. Along with that comes online gaming among hotel guests (you can have a PC installed - laptop for the suites - for extra charge), with online games installed, where hotel guests connect to a hotel gaming server (quake server for example), and play among themselves. Of course, downstairs in the game rooms, there will be also computers who can be used for the el-cheapo guests, if they can't afford one in the room, in order to play (price/time of usage). .... --Ariel > > Simon > -- > Simon Lockhart | Tel: +44 (0)1737 839676 > Internet Engineering Manager | Fax: +44 (0)1737 839516 > BBC Internet Services | Email: [email protected] > Kingswood Warren,Tadworth,Surrey,UK| URL: http://support.bbc.co.uk/ > > > -- Ariel Biener e-mail: [email protected] PGP(6.5.8) public key http://www.tau.ac.il/~ariel/pgp.html
