the hhonors ap's at the hilton were nat-ed and behind a business
cable-modem that's about average for the hotels I've seen... you won't
find to many hotels with ds3's and /19s worth of address-space. if
enough peopel fall back on the hotel you'll melt it...

Fairly soon, all relevant hotels will offer their own wireless access,
as well as connectivity from your room, and from suites, as a fallback.
Also, in a meeting, one can pass CDs or USB thingies around. Risk of
serious long-term wireless outage is low. How much are you willing to
pay in order to reduce risk to 0% and to have your fallback network be
nice and convenient? IETF finances are not in good shape.
But hotels will not be geared up for 1000 WLAN laptops...
