The Friday night problem appears to have been some kind of glitch 
possibly related to the IETF infrastructure going away and the 
hotel's "normal" mode not being properly reconfigured (I am guessing).

It was all working fine by Saturday morning.

In general, I think it would be difficult for the IAOC and AMS to 
provide in-room Internet access that is any "better" than what you 
would normally get at a given property. Generally speaking, the best 
we can negotiate is for the fee to be removed either before checkout
or by having access be just "open". In some cases, the NOC folks may 
be allowed access to the hotel network to provide better bandwidth
etc, but some hotels have very restrictive policies about this 
(notably the Starwood Group).

It would also help a great deal if IETF attendees treated the in-room 
network more like a "normal" visitor, i.e., used it only for e-mail,
Web browsing etc, and not some sort high-capacity multimedia system
with infinite capacity.

At CityWest we had a perfectly good "terminal room" and wireless 
access in all the meeting rooms and hotel lobby areas. We can 
certainly wish for more, but it's a matter of resources.
