No wireless anything at all is allowed; the way I see it is, treat the FIRST event like you're going to a sporting event; keep the internet to 4G/3G/Mobile networks on your phone.

I don't see the rules stating that, they simply refer to internet. So if your local bluetooth/othernonwifi network doesn't have a device to act as a mobile modem it should be legal by the current rules.
