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
               contact
