Day 1
The day is about half over, at least CTIA the first day. CTIA was a little busy today. It was a cab zoo. Thankfully I was there first thing at 9 AM because shortly thereafter the lines for attendees grew quickly. What I don't understand at shows like this is why they don't do more electronic scanning. There was a gentleman at the door with a piece of paper asking us all as we came in whether we had printed out the bar code for attending. If we did, we were allowed to access the Fast Track registration. If not, we were told to go to the Attendee full registration line. It didn't matter that I had the bar code on my PDA in an email. It didn't work. Fortunately the woman working the Fast Track counter allowed me to register anyway. But, you would think they would allow electronic sign in.
The exhibit hall was closed off in both directions. Doesn't open until tomorrow.
We were only allowed in to the educational series area. The place is huge.
