I joined the first day of APRICOT-APAN2011. The infrastructure of the conference venue made every participant surprised. The Internet backbone for the conference venue was running 100 Gbps. There are over 70 WiFi access points scattered in the conference hall and various meeting rooms. Depending on the SSID we chose, the WiFi access points could offer both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to clients, or IPv6 address only, or both IPv4 and IPv5 addresses at 802.11a 5 GHz frequency band which should be very high speed. What's more. These was a pool of Ethernet ports, each port could offer 1Gbps connection.
This showcase in Hong Kong reminded me about the Beijing Olympics Games in 2008. I think other countries might be scared to host APRICOT after seeing Hong Kong's effort in offering top class infrastructure for the conference.
