Last year it was D. They used E to distribute lunch and stuff, but most 
of the day it was sectioned off.

I don't agree that it's likely to be impossible, I think it's possible 
provided we can get an internet link indoors to begin with, which seems 
like the hardest challenge. Once it is indoors we can deploy several of 
our WGT Army as a little (maybe OLSR maybe roofnet) several-hop mesh. 
We'll need to find relatively safe places to deploy them. I really doubt 
theft will be a problem, but still we can ask other booths to put a 
device in their booth. The tricky part would be finding a place between 
the "outdoors" and the hall entrance, but we can probably figure 
something out...

We ought to prepare to use the internal network too in-case it ends up 
being intractable to get the internets indoors from the wimax link.

We should do a proof-of-concept sometime before the conference...
