Should Hotel WiFi Be Free? The Debate Rages On
Where: United StatesJuly 2, 2008 at 12:54 PM | 3 Comments
Over at Hotels Magazine, Associate Editor Adam Kirby boldly argued that Hotel WiFi should be free (um, because it should).
The gist of his blog entry was, essentially, "hey, it's 2008, and only 16% of hotels still charge for WiFi, so the rest of you need to get with it already," and he provided some perfectly reasonable suggestions for those stubborn hoteliers still holding out on the free WiFi.
We say he's right for a number of reasons, but we didn't expect the ferocity with which the aforementioned stubborn hoteliers would respond. They have descended upon the comments section of his blog to oh-so-generously give the Internets a piece of their (greedy) minds.
