True; I know what the rule says, but I also know that if I need a file off the Innovation First site, and I have an internet connection in my pocket, I will connect, get the file, and disconnect. I believe the intent of the rule is to keep teams from using resources that do not belong to them--crashing the host's AP is not a good way to get them to welcome us back.

BTW, I use a hacked (tethering is disabled in firmware by default) Motorola Razr v3m on the Verizon network. I use 1x tethering, which is dang slow, but better than nothing. It is free, but costs airtime. If I knew of a reasonably priced EVDO tether, or another network (from what I gather, Verizon is not the cheapest), I would dive for it.
