Wireless connection may be depends on clear sight between their presence
and the hotel.
Or contact local cable modem provider for short term arrangement if they
have coverage for the hotel using existing coax cable. ^.^

Only Broadband. I don't have any direct experience with them, but
others have had good things to say. Regardless, I agree with David;
wireless is ideal for short-term bandwidth needs.

That seems awfully high for a short-term hookup, though from the rest of
the email I'm guessing you're mainly looking at wireline hookups.
Have you
shopped around for a short-term wireless link?
If you can get on the roof of the hotel, and the roof of someone else
nearby that has more bandwidth, and point a pair of radios at each
other,
that's probably do-able for far less than 20k.
In Chicago, the folks at CW Lab (www.cwlab.com) may be able to get you
started. They're more of a consulting firm now, from the looks of their
Web site, but they've done things like this before, and they're local to
Chicago; if they can't help they probably know someone who can.
