Someone pointed us to this a while ago and we met with one of the principals there a couple of weeks ago to understand how we might be able to use it.  It’s affordable but they require some form of authentication integration for large gatherings and we don’t like their current option for privacy reasons and so they are looking at new options.

We’re hoping to get to the stage where we can do an open test, before IETF 108 to see if is suitable to trial during the meeting.
