But lots of people wanted to be involved and have events and so on without having a booth, so that requirement was removed. That does, however, amount to a serious loss in revenue (including that necessary to cover basic costs) for the show. So, to even this all out, attendance in any way now has a flat fee. That fee covers entry to all events, including exhibits and seminars and so on. And, yes, the nice folks at Internext are also having wireless access added to the entire event.

This part is just really irking me to no end. What does Joe Blow webmaster get for the increased price? And don't say the seminars, because, for me anyway, I probably wouldn't have gone to them if they were free LAST year.
