That being said, I would say this: If you need to use the Internet, and you work with existing venue infrastructure (say, the venue wireless, or using a cell phone's data plan), I don't think anybody will give you too hard of a time about it. However, if you happen to be broadcasting a WiFi hotspot, you can expect a visit from the FTA, FTAA, a CSA, or the LRI. They'll be there to tell you to shut if off.
