Seattle Wireless actually have some Real Media streaming video of this
meeting up on their web site at the above April Meeting link.

The John Richey presentation starts about 10 minutes into the 3 hour !!
stream and is worth having a look at, not only for the product
announcements but as a general heads up on what is going on in terms of
wireless commercial deployments and technological developments.

They don't have anyone operating the camera and after shooting the N
connector termination demo on Friday I can relate to that :-)
