Hotels (on the mainland) have figured out that people will preferentially stay where there first was WiFi and now folks will stay where its free. This is especially true in the "3 star" level places. (Nobody expects water to be free in the Four Seasons.)
I'm currently staying in a Hyatt in a tech-heavy area. The majority of the people I see in the lobby are here on business with a large technology firm. Wirless is $10/day as is ethernet in the room. (There are the occasional 3 stars down the road that have free wifi.)
