I see no discussion (or guarantee) of bandwidth. I don't see any particular need for internet access at all. We'll just have to be sure we snag all the stuff we need beforehand (isos, is there anything else we really /need/? I don't think we need a mirror, but we could always have one). If we do need internet, it certainly wouldn't be for all/most of our computers.
That being said, we should also consider the feasibility of doing a booth with little/no power. Do we think that would be feasible? The only issue in my mind is the CDs. We could batch them beforehand, and then use a laptop or two to create custom CDs for oddball requests (perhaps bring in a UPS or other sort of battery to help with this)?
