Herewith an abstract regarding the contents of the webinar:
Learn how the new IEEE protocol 802.11u communications protocol between APs and wireless client devices and Hot Spot 2.0, a set of capabilities enabling a seamless 3G cellular connection experience for Wi-Fi users transforms the way users connect to wireless networks, making Wi-Fi a much more versatile tool for wireless operators.

I added this to the Feature Request List. (http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/MikroTik_RouterOS/Feature_Requests)
