Why should we charge ALL the guests for something that only 20% of them actually use. Should we give a away free beer and tack that on the rate too? In my mind, Americans would rather get what they pay for and pay for only what they get.

Only 20% of hotel guests want to use the Internet? Are you sure about that? Gosh. Well there go our careers.

Oh, America. So resistant to incorporating technology into day-to-day lifestyles.

But nevermind America; our favorite gem came from across the pond. Daryl writes:

Although wired, my guests pay €15.00 per 24 hrs for internet access. Never a complaint. Not charging means leaving money on the table, which makes no business sense.

Sir, if we may: perhaps you have not received one complaint because nobody is crazy enough to pay almost $25 USD for one day of WiFi access when most people pay that much for a whole month of service in their homes. They probably think you're just kidding.

What do you think? Should we expect free WiFi at hotels or not? Hit the comments section and sound off on the Great WiFi Debate.
