HotelChatter's Annual Hotel Wi-Fi Report 2010
Ant writes with this excerpt from an annual review of wireless access for hotel guests: "This year marks HotelChatter's sixth annual hotel Wi-Fi report. Over the years we've documented the progression of hotel Wi-Fi, from blatant disregard, to price-gouging for Wi-Fi access, and reliable Wi-Fi for loyalty program members, through guests taking matters into their own hands with wireless laptop/notebook cards and 3G access. A year ago, we thought guest demand for free, reliable, hotel Wi-Fi might just go away, thanks to 3G, but today, a growing number of hotel guests not only demand the hotel they book have proper wireless access, but most will consider not staying at a hotel that can't meet their basic access needs. That's right, Wi-Fi is a make or break amenity for many hotel guests that can sway booking decisions — and that isn't going away."
No, because a) individuals don't bear the full brunt whether the payer is the govt. or a private insurer, it makes little difference to them ; b) consumers don't know enough to make informed cost/benefit tradeoffs with health care (frankly, even doctors often don't know because we don't collect that information); c) nationalized health care is off the table in the US now anyways; d) all the nations with nationalized health care pay much less for it than the US does.
Oh man, I'm still a sucker for health care debate...
Disney != Buena Vista Suites.
"Buena Vista" is a registered trademark of the Walt Disney Company. A lot of their movies are released under the "Buena Vista" label. Try naming your hotel "McDonald's Suites" and see how long it takes to hear from the clown's lawyers. Buena Vista Suites are most likely held by a subsidiary of Disney. It's not surprising that the company has two (2) hotels, conveniently located near Disney World and Disney Land. However since you apparently are a paragon of literacy and understanding, you already knew this.
