[WSIS CS-Plenary] wifi? snail?

[Robert Guerra]

Sylvia:

The CS Bureau has asked - numerous, numerous times if the wireless at  
the Tunis summit will be free (as in no cost). To-date, if i'm not  
mistaken - no straight answer has been received. Thus, it is my  
working assumption is that - it is likely - that WiFi WILL NOT be  
free at the Kram Centre. What the cost (if any) will be - is yet  
unknown..

With the IT infrastructure being built at the Kram (1)  , and a  
partnership  being announced with the Finnish IT security firm   
Stonesoft (2)  - well, someone should know if WiFi will be free, and  
if in fact we will have uncensored internet (as we've always been  
promised).

Why we can't get a definite answer already - well is the big  
question. Again, my recommendation is to think the worst and plan  
accordingly..


regards,

Robert
