Marriott agrees non-free WiFi is too expensive

Tobias sez, "Marriot is going to start giving away free wireless to get people interested, as you suggested earlier it makes more sense than forcing stupid pay schemes and scratch off cards that drive everyone nuts."

Marriott International Inc. (NYSE:MAR – news) will roll out free high-speed Internet access at a number of midrange hotels in the next year and a half, but guests at many top hotels will still have to pay, the company said on Tuesday.

Hrm — I love this dynamic about hotels: the cheaper the hotel, the less likely it is that they'll screw you on telecommunications.
