Comment (by rrix):
23:34 ( rrix) Zach says ~4000$ between hardware, install and bandwidth if
we decide to have it wired in... Seems prohibitively high
23:35 ( rrix) However, if he can get a contract to provide them internet
year round, say 20mbit, it would be very easy for us to bump that to 30 or
50mbit for the few days we need
23:35 ( rrix) Hence us putting him in contact with Marriot
23:35 ( rrix) The other option that he suggested, which may or may not
work out, is bringing the wireless to the Marriot using Microwave from the
brickyard building
23:36 ( rrix) That entails us having roof access to the main brickyard
biulding (not the Artisan building where we have rooms reserved), and
running cable between the two biuldings, as well as probably installing
more APs to accomodate us at the Marriot
23:36 ( rrix) It also means that we'd have to get approval from ASU IT,
which may be a bit weary of us shipping their net off campus, even if we
are on a segregated network
23:38 ( rrix) So, if we can't get the microwave option, or he can't get a
long-term contract with the Marriot, I'm thinking that we should go with
jsmith's contact
