Good luck with getting the venue to allow anything installed on the facility due to "liability" reasons.

I fully expect these one offs to be rather lucrative for the ISP. I just meant that legally we can't really commit to a year long install on a venue that we're only going to be in for a week or two.

If you don't, the last big show I attended as a vendor cost $1500 for 1.5M for 2 days. Very few shows are as friendly as WISPA regionals and MUMs to vendors. I would say if you are willing to revenue share some of that, you might get a bit more interest. Otherwise, a month of service fees is probably not worth the headache for most WISPs.
