I fully agree that we dont want any commercial/marketing presentations :-) but I have a few comments to add... Sprint. As sponsor I think they have the right to get a timeframe for a presentation, but for sure not any kind of marketing presentation. We wont permit it. As always we check the presentations in advance to check their content. Swisscom. This would be a prestation about GSM, not GPRS at all. But this presentation will probably be canceled as the guy is a GPRS guru and we told we already had a presentation about GPRS. If some other people object to have a presentation about GSM, it will be dropped (democracy :-)). RiverHead. I saw their presenation @FRnOG and it "might" be a great product. I think many of the ISPs will be interested to see how it works etc... Yes you are complaining :-P but, complains are always welcome ...
