The IETF has a meeting network requirements document that specifies a 
number of parameters which includes no blocking. Markedly different in
terms of content may not apply in most places, reasonable bandwidth 
most certainly does, as does port restrictions (usually by stupid 
configuration by clueless operators). And if you've ever stayed in 
some random hotel you will know what I mean.
