I like the idea, and have considered doing something with it if only because I'm friends with a few bar owners who have complained about how painful trivia night is.
In fact, the best trivia nights are not the BuzzTime ones, but the smaller ones that don't have hardware at all.
All you really need is a database of trivia questions that the hosts can retrieve from, and a way to mark which questions that host has used before. Ideally, you could let the host tailor the questions to his crowd so that, at a sports bar, you weren't asking a ton of questions about Justin Bieber, and that sort of thing.
