Hotels are at long last figuring out that broadband in the bedroom is a must-have, according to a report by In-Stat/MDR reported by The Center for Media Research. “Total properties deployed will grow from 5,207 in 2003 to 26,828 in 2008.” Apparently, this comes after a three year slump which I assume was due to the hotel industry’s assumption that wifi was just a fad and that Real Men Pull Cable.

I forget who it was who posed this question, but it’s a good ‘un: Why are hotel pools free but many hotels charge for wifi? After all, pools are hugely expensive and few guests use them while wifi is comparatively cheap and lots of guests use it.
