Wi Fi flying low

I always feel very smug when I go to a conference or event to blog on it. Well, at least I do when I'm in Switzerland,  where many of the media conferences are being held at the moment, for example: Somesso. Why? Because I have my own portable Swisscom wi fi on a pen that can make my laptop into my moving office. While others are running to find a wifi spot I'm home and dry. But outside of the Helvetian paradise I have to wonder why companies promoting conferences and gatherings on Tech., Web 2.0 and media aren't more geared. I read a recent post by David Terrar about the recent  Berlin conference here and I have to agree. If wi fi is so normal now and part of the landscape, why must we scramble for it so in the Euro Union? Donna Jackson Social Communications Specialist Wisequeen
