Surprisingly the higher priced hotels/convention setups do not.
This past summer I was in Houston for a convention and stayed at the Hilton's America Hotel which is next/connected to Brown Convention center. Cost was to be 8 or similar per 24 hour period. (Rooms were 100 a night convention rate!)
It was free in the lobby/community area, but cost everywhere else. I kept my use to the workroom where we had setup a connection for the room.
Yet I have stayed in 60 a night motels where it is free, and also stayed at one where it was free but worked like crap.
It is all relative. Stewart At 07:14 PM 10/21/2007, you wrote:
Interesting. In DC I pay US$30.00 per month for 3 mbps down, 768 kbps up. That's unlimited but that's as good as it gets on speed. No FiOS here yet. I know there's been a lot said on how other countries are better implementing broadband than the USA. Some of them have state monopoly telecom companies, almost all of them are smaller than the USA. When I was in France last July the broadband was fast as a greased gopher. But it was very expensive. OK I was in a hotel. But it was the first time I had to pay for it separately. In the USA if there's broadband in a hotel it's normally an included item. At some point the infrastructure buildout will be complete. Then we can all breathe freely and start complainung about how slow it is again. :-)
