From my recent trip, the hotel wanted $11/day for inet access. (The one at EWR wanted $9!) Figuring times 30 days, that’s a month inet cost of $330/month. Given a home account on an broadband is $50/month. That means that the hotel is pocketing a kool 280$/month. Pretty sweet. That a lotta R for very little I! As in ROI.
Taking a place like the big vegas hotel with 4k of rooms. Assume that they are 75% full each month. Assume that half will buy inet access from them. That’s 280 * 4 * .75 * .5 = 420k$/month!!!
Wow!
