Or find a wireless ISP in the area to backhaul you some bandwidth for a week.
Do you think the convention center that wants $50/person/week will just give away the roof rights for free?
There is a legal issue of who owns the right to control radio bandwidth usage in the convention center. For licensed bandwidth, it is obvious that licensees have the right. Though it is not so obvious for ISM bands, it should be reasonable to assume land owners have no right to prohibit visitors to transmit in ISM bands. For example, land owners should have no power to shut down PAN by ZigBee. At least, that is the formal understanding of regulators in Japan. Masataka Ohta
