Oh, forgot to add to the comment about the UBNT supply issue. Robert Pera said, after being forced to see the supply issue, that he had decided to cancel his plans to attend the other conferences and was going to spend that Time in Asia to push for the UBNT product manufacturers to increase his orders and to deliver to the distributors ASAP. The man seemed very, very honest and humbled after every single attendee voiced their total and unwavering praise for the quality of his products and their absolute disappointment in availability. I would love to be in the position to have not one customer complain about the quality of my product but I would certainly lose lots of sleep knowing that potential customers are turned away because I couldn't deliver.
