PyCon 2009 wireless network report

Sean's report on the networking at PyCon 2009 is a great read — funny, and packed full of information. I've constantly amazed at the quality of the wifi at PyCon — conferences half PyCon's size usually make the network buckle. Folks running large conferences seem to have two choices when it comes to wifi: have it fail, or hire tummy.com. Simple.
