- 2003: RIPE offers to rent out PCMCIA wifi cards to attendees of the RIPE conference.
- 2007: Every attendee has a laptop with built-in wifi.
- 2012: Every attendant brings a Laptop and at least one smartphone, some bring tablets as well.
We have ~500 attendees at #FIRSTCON this week; I wonder how many distinct clients the wifi net has seen.
