The odd issue is connectivity. If there is no network connectivity

In fact there /is/ connectivity. It's just bone-numbingly slow and
occassionally non-existent.
Not sure how expensive telephone landlines are in Paraguay, but you
might want to roll out your own network with on-demand dialups.. the
same way credit card terminals work.
In a lot of cases that might work. For us, the thing is we're here for
a single event of 5 days long (with a week or so of on-site prep before
that). The network is dependent on local providers, vendors, local
staff, local budget, etc. Our team usually works in US, Japan, Korea,
etc. where the band is a little broader. If we could come up with a
system that works in this environment, we'd be much more ready to show
up on short notice in future similar situations.
