Yes, they stopped. The ports were never sufficient, people always wanted to move the table around, and the cables and connectors in the table were always breaking.

Besides, there are always people far from the table.

It's true, they used to be more available and then they stopped making those tables for those reasons (and they were more expensive).

Yes, in a conference room setting with more than 3 people it's better to have wifi, no disagreement there. In google's case here it sounds like they'd bring a mobile hotspot in so everyone could see the documents together, which is not ideal but would work.

Still, they'd have ethernet for the video sharing so they could just put a router in each conference room (a huge pain to admin, but - it's google) and everyone gets wifi in the conference room and no one is very slightly inconvenienced.

OR - y'know. Bring back the ethernet. Werd.
