I've got to agree with Maik on this one.  Ad hoc alternative solutions might be 
convenient for locals and near locals, but coming in from Australia, for 
example, the last thing I want to try and organise on arrival at short notice 
is a local carrier data plan I'll never use again.  Personally, I shut down 
email and any form of IM during presentations—the presenter has my full 
attention.  But between sessions and after hours, I'm half a world away from my 
family, and trying to run a business.  Convenient, reliable Internet access 
(WiFi, Ethernet—anything) is a significant factor for me, and, as Maik notes, 
no doubt many other international delegates as well.
