We did understand the need. We just underestimated the level of geekiness and
the number of people who showed up. The event was dimensioned for 500-800
people and we had 1100 showing up, each with 2 devices. Then people got a
third device.

Danimo did a very good job last year. I had no complaints about the network at
QtCS.
Maybe there was a problem during the opening sessions, when everyone was in
the same room. I don't remember.

Would be nice if Nokia sponsored that, but Nokia might turn around and say
that their phones definitely last through the day in one battery charge :-)
Not a priority in my mind.
