It’s not just Marriott doing this; A friend of mine went to a convention near 
DC and found the venue was doing something like this. I don’t know if the 
method was the same, but he reported that any time he connected to his phone he 
would be disconnected “nearly immediately". He mentioned this to a con staffer 
and was told you had to rent internet access from the venue, it cost several 
hundred dollars per day. Same for electricity, about which he was told “If you 
have to ask how much it costs, you cannot afford it.”
