I suspect the amount of fade glass will provide would make this a last resort solution. Unless you did a 900mhz point

I suspect the general answer is you do whatever you can to make things work.

I can't think of a reason you would have to provide data, most people have 3/4g to begin with. If it's for booth ops, 
I would think that cellular router would be the best choice. Most of the times our booth rides our private satellite 
network, so we just deal with the latency. If you could live with 800ms rtt, get a vsat.. :) 

The original question (IIRC) was how to provide conference-style wifi with no wired back-haul, so given that I presume 
that the option "don't provide conference-style wifi at all" does not meet the requirements :-)
