It means that before I reached an age where the FAA deemed I was too old to
fly, I used to fly 747s around the world.

 

Today's 747s are very computerized and I worked in tech development. I was
there when we implemented GPS interfaces, satellite communications and flash
cards with terrain databases.

 

Now I work with communications troubleshooting. Not so exciting, but it's a
living.

I've stayed in hotels in Japan where the key-in-the-door =
power-at-the-outlets, but I've never seen 80Mbps anywhere.  Hotel or not.

 

I've got a question for you, though.  What's an "Ancient Pilot"?

I am in Korea on a gig and is staying at a hotel in New Songdo City.

 

When I plugged my laptop into the network cable at the work desk and then
checked my connection it showed me that I had a public IP and when I did an
ADSL speed test, it gave me 80 Mbps in and 15 Mbps out. Now that will give
me a very nice VPN back to HQ.

 

The only drawback is that the power outlet at the desk is controlled by the
key card holder at the door. I enter the room, put my key card in the holder
and I have power. I tried leaving a card board dummy there, but the room
maid removes it when they service the room. Solution: There is a "hot" power
outlet behind the minibar refrigerator. Get an extension cord and you can
leave your notebook and router on while you leave your room.

 

This is definitely the hotel of the future. I have never seen these speeds
at hotels in the US. What is your experience?
