Free Internet in Hotels?
I am looking forward to the day when hotel properties chalk up internet service as a "cost of doing business". Charging guests for internet access is simply ridiculous. The other charges (heat-light-water) are nicely hidden in the rack rate - charging for internet access seems disingenuous. Tell us we are getting internet access for free and hide it in the rack rate. Have some subtlety.
I would go one step further: frequent business travelers, let's band together to boycott hotels that charge for internet access. Writing that felt good, made me feel like Samuel Adams getting ready to chuck some tea.

i recently stayed in a comfort inn in the rural town of Mansfield, PA. Sure enough the wi fi was indeed free, so were the bed bugs my brother brought home with him.
