Everything would be so much simpler if locations would provide Wi-Fi for free or at a reasonable price. When a technology is used by everyone (e.g. Electricity) like Wi-Fi, just include it in the cost of doing business. Stop charging users for Wi-Fi, especially when the room is already at $200+/night. People will bring their own Mi-Fi or smartphone-hotspot, and bypass the silly cost model!
At Educause this week the Vendor-floor was plagued with hundreds of Mi-Fi and private Wi-Fi. The event was charging upward of $150/day for Wi-Fi to exhibitors. So, many of them had their own solutions! Humans are resourceful...and if you piss them off they will read the law and call the FCC (or they pirate your network ;-) Philippe Philippe Hanset www.eduroam.us On Oct 3, 2014, at 2:22 PM, Lee H Badman <[email protected]> wrote: > > What do you all think of this? > http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/10/after-blocking-personal-hotspot-at-hotel-marriott-to-pay-fcc-600000/ > > - Lee Badman ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
