Verilan is the exclusive network services provider for NANOG, IEEE 802, IETF, ICANN, ZigBee Alliance, MAAWG, OIF, GENIVI, Tizen and many other technical organizations. We deploy large temporary networks to provide high density WI-Fi for meetings, events and conferences all over the world where Internet connectivity is mission critical to the success of the event.
I'm quite certain I have a good idea of the magnitude of what you'd charge for professional services for such work, and I would expect it to be 2-3 orders of magnitude larger than what a Worldcon Concom could afford to pay. :-) I would also be very surprised -- having been on NANOG for over a decade now and never having heard your name -- to find out that you were the Exclusive Network Services Provider for NANOG... And I expect they'd be surprised too. Hey! Let's ask them! :-) Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
