Marriott asking FCC for permission to block wireless hotspots

12-26-2014, 02:05 AM

It's difficult to charge people $14.95 a night for your Internet service when people can tether to their phones.

I'm more of a motel person than a hotel person myself but this wouldn't exactly endear me to Marriott.

"I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

for a split second I misread the thread title as "asking RCC" and so I was briefly entertained by imagining what Pope Francis' response would be.

Don't call it a comeback. It's a riposte.

Maybe they should just offer complementary WiFi like practically everywhere else I've stayed.

I'm not here anymore.

yeah, that'll probably bite them if they do this...
