[nfb-talk] Convention in Orlando for 5 years

[T. Joseph Carter]

Yes, Mr. Rosen was REALLY impressed with the NFB, and Dr. Maurer was 
really impressed with the facility.  Hopefully the two of them can 
work something out to reduce the nickel-and-dime effects somewhat.  I 
certainly have no objection to the hotel making money—but the 
incidental fees are both too high and too frequent to be comfortable.  
There isn’t even lobby wifi access without a fee, and the hotel is 
full of cellular dead zones.
