Barcelona is host to more than 50,000 attendees of this year’s 3GSM World Congress. I can’t think of a much better way to make a great city less inviting but there are lots of interesting things going on in mobile and wireless and this is the place to be so we must all converge like butterflies to the flame.

For me this is the third week of more or less constant travel and the appeal of nice hotels is starting to wear out, especially given the potential of some recent meetings I’ve had in SF and Sidney’s.
