IL04: marriott wifi

In the Marriott for the morning keynote. Here’s a report on the WiFi situation for those looking for a signal.

In the Marriott lobby, WiFi is free and open, SSID “STSN_conf”. Connecting to “STSN” is the $9.95/day pay-for

access. Unfortunately you can see the open/free signal in the ballroom but when you connect you won’t get a DNS to

work with so you won’t be able to get anywhere. According to one of the hotel managers it’s only available in the

ballroom (and other meeting room I’d assume) if the “group” paid for it and he wasn’t aware of any groups doing so

for today. There also seems to be one called “MARRIOTTLOBBY” that also works when you can find it as it seems to

be there one minute and gone the next.

P.S. In some cases I’m writing these entries and will post them as I find an open connection.
