Well, for temp access I'm sure some of the businesses have internet, piggy back onto them and set a bandwidth limit so as not to suck them dry. Again, a festival committee could probably line them up for you and they could be added as a sponsor of the free wireless internet. Depending on the size of the festival, you may only need a couple of bullets with an omni on each.

When you say no coverage, are you meaning there is NO internet access there or that you have no coverage yourself with wireless? If internet is indeed available there via a wire, then the rest is easy. -----Original Message----- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Josh Luthman Sent: Wednesday, April 14, 2010 9:22 AM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] Mobile or Temporary Internet? Satellite at 5mbps? Not going to happen. Mobile cards will be quicker but very area dependant.
