[Yapc-na-organizers] Network Jacks at speaker stands?

[Daniel J. Wright]

Hello,

  I've spoken with CMU regarding wired ethernet.  They have agreed to have
wired ethernet available at each speaking podium as a contingency should
the wireless fail.   Since they would normally charge for a wired
connection and are not charging us, we have agreed that we are only
going to use it in the event that the wireless network is actually
having problems.

Thanks,
-Dan
