[amsat-bb] cost for streaming audio at the symposium...

["Greg Wycoff" <GREGWYCOFF@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

"The hotel wanted $400 to provide high speed internet in the meeting room
during the weekend of the meeting, the symposium committee decided not to 
pay
for it. That was the main reason for not streaming the audio"


Why would $400. be a factor, the AMSAT symposium is the biggest meeting that 
AMSAT puts on. Having the streaming audio during this event is not going to 
make people stay home, those who are going to go, are going to go, but for 
those who cant make it there, would have it and could enjoy the 
presentations that are made and stay up to date on things. That is a small 
price to pay when you look at some of the other ways AMSAT spends your 
money.

What better way to get exposer for a event such as this.
