$1199 For Internet Access At Our Booth At Ad-tech
 

LOL! I am seriously in the wrong business!

We just ordered internet access for Ad-tech and it's $1200 LMAO! This is for 2 fucking days!!

Man and I used to think Internext was expensive, I am afraid to see what the carpet cost for the booth is now :1orglaugh

DH

That is insane

how can you laugh and be in good spirits about that! hehe

And the sad thing it it's AOL dialup:)

:1orglaugh

or netzero

Just ordered carpet. It's $250 lol

Because I am going to make about 500x that amount of money off this show.

It sucks but what can ya do, just a cost of doing business.

DH

Fuck I am going to take that carpet home afterwards and use it as a sleeping bag :1orglaugh

DH

can't you just get wireless or something from another provider?

What's stopping you from using Sprint's 1.5mbs network over the airwaves? If your cell phone works you should be able to use their service and its only $60/month or so, even if only works in the USA?
WG

cant you get a 3g broadband through your mobile provider

They block the internet signal, we tried it before at another show LOL!

They have some kind of "signal sniffer".

DH

Ridiculous. Monopolies suck.

sweet jebus. but if 2k for a show a like that shouldn't hold you back.

oh edit.. so your other post

It's the man...always the man.

Save the demos, content to your hard drive, do without the Inet, save the money

Set up an access point and resell your overpriced internet to other booth owners :)

but there's no good parties afterwards..:( ?

Are they blocking all wireless signals? Surely a cell phone works in the conference center and if that does, you should be able to find some sort of highspeed cell phone carrier that can connect to your laptop? Even signing a 1 year agreement with a US carrier will be cheaper than $1200!
WG

that is rape no excuse for it to cost that much.

Damn, that's just insane!

i can l33t h@x3r yo for 500 bucks

Wow, freud freud freud

I'm a man, can I get $1200 :winkwink:

Internet Access will be free at Internext ;-)

We have done that in the past but a lot of potential clients want to show us their site and where they would like to send the traffic we deliver.

Trust me, I don't want to pay the $1200 I would rather keep it in my pocket. However how professional would you look if you were the only company out there without internet access at a fucking internext advertising convention ;)

DH

I tried doing that at Miami Internext once LOL!

They caught my wireless router and I just played dumb. :1orglaugh

DH

Oh I agree and trust me the signal is not all that fucking fast either.

DH

hahaha lol

:)

wow, never thought I would see that

how is the convention center handling that? I always thought the casinos handled all the internet, did you all work some sort of deal?

Like you said though.. it's a SMALL cost for the benefits it will bring. Pocket change right?

i guess he means florida... :2 cents:

yeah, I figured, just wasn't sure why he wouldn't say that out right...guess he just had to get a plug in there...LOL

500x more than $1200 is a shit load of money! Don't complain, be happy!















But I do feel your pain... that would piss me off big time paying for it LOL!
