Story: Gartner: Business travellers snubbing Wi-Fi
Posted by: Anonymous (Thursday 8 September 2005, 2:46 PM)
It's very simple. WiFi hotspots are WAY too expensive and people don't like to be ripped off, even when it's the companies money. When DSL costs from 15 euros a month for 8 Mbits/s, being charged 7.50 an hour in a hotspot is just rediculous.
When a wireless router is 99 euros to buy and DSL is so cheap, wifi should be more or less free everywhere. Especially in hotels! I am paying 200 euros a night for a hotel room right now and they still want to charge a considerable sum for use of the broadband connection which costs them almost nothing to run. Just include it in the room price.
