Simple question,

How much can we budget? Or rather how much are we willing to pay? I had set
up a wi-fi network last year in Mumbai, and it costed us a bomb. I am not
able to remember the figures, but I guess I have the complete cost structure
of Interop where they provided wi-fi at any point to at least 600 people
which I can fish out somewhere. I'd say we will have at the maximum 250
people ( considering around 600 delegates, but only 40% will carry laptops)
who may connect, and that's a significant figure.

I completely support Noufal on both points on quality/quantity of talks and
wi-fi.
