As I sit here live blogging I count some 37 people with media credentials typing away on Bloggers Row.

Over 400 media credentials have been issued. The event is progressing, well, uneventfully. No visible glitches. Little is going wrong in the mechanics.

It is a success.

I ask Charmaine, the VP of Communications on the number of media hits. She doesn’t know. I press for a guess. No one on her staff knows either.

But she smiles and concedes that there has been a “complete international domination” of news. (I accompanied her to her live interview on the local BBC News bureau last night.)”
