If you are an IKANO reseller you can order a contract-less DSL to a nearby address but I would partner with one or more local businesses to use their Internet. Satellite will work so poorly nobody will use the service and it's rediculously expensive.
Set up a SilverLining account and use these: http://www.silverliningnetworks.com/store/. These mesh repeaters are ISP-agnostic allowing you to use any ISP yet run from a single account and they are cheap enough you can springle them around. Alternately you could use any device router capable of supporting OpenWRT flashed with SilverLining's version. With this setup you can provide free ad-supported WiFi and paid ad-free wifi on a temporary basis, show how well it works, and possibly sell some networks to some downtown associations, or Cities.

Hello, I'm trying to provide wireless Internet to a local festival this summer. My plan is to set up temporary APs as there isn't any coverage in that area already. I don't have any towers in the area (or any at all) so my thoughts are that I would have to talk some local building owners into letting me put some small antennas on their roof. Do you have any tips for negotiating these kinds of deals? Alternatively, I've seen a few people mention using satellite Internet; I'm wondering who you all use? I've been planning on needing 5Mbps connectivity. Are there other alternatives for what I'm trying to do?
