The provider here is STSN, not Marriott, and they could have deployed 802.11b all this time, but choose to not do so. For those of you who care, you *always* get NAT-ed out of an STSN room (the NAT happens on the box in the room.) > Hilton also has many hotels with HS access in the room. Yes, these were installed by CAIS (nee Ardent, and out of business.) The non-Hilton CAIS hotels were purchased by Wayport recently for the canonic "pennies on the dollar". Hilton kept all their flags, so its entirely possible that they plan to operate them as Hilton. http://www.wayport.net/press/90 When last I checked Wayport and STSN were about neck-and-neck in terms of hotel & room counts. The entrance of Cometa/Rainbow could change things in the 'hotspot-hotel' game.
