1.) Most meeting planners do not want wifi in their conference rooms. They don't even want it to be an option for their attendees to purchase it from to hotel. They want their attendees to actually pay attention to the conference. This happens to about 95% of our conferences.
2.) In my personal experience, when I have a room full of people, and they're using laptops, phones, hotspots, etc. I will encounter a problem with interference with the wireless microphones. It's not apparent to most, but there will be a pop here or there and/or a bit of static/white noise. I usually have to rescan to find a clean channel on some of the wireless mic systems we have.
Also, I am glad to say that my location does not have anything in place to block/jam wifi or anything else.
