Reverend,
Since you mentioned being in Houston and given your profession, just curious
if you've ever been to Lakewood church or have met Joel Osteen? Just
discovered his show by accident a few months ago and find myself watching it
now rather than the political show I used to watch that is on the same time.
Thanks,
Randall

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.

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. :-)
