"Marriott International said on Wednesday that it plans to install
wireless high speed Internet access at 400 hotels in the U.S. and
internationally.
The service will be available by spring in the United Kingdom,
Germany, and the U.S., in some Marriott, Renaissance, Courtyard,
Residence Inn, TownePlace Suites, Fairfield Inn, and SpringHill Suites
hotels. The company is working with STSN, its preferred high-speed
Internet access provider, to provide the service.
The service will be available in hotel lobbies, meeting rooms, and
public spaces, complementing current in-room high-speed Internet access.
Although some consumer businesses provide free wireless Internet access
on premises, Marriott's services will require a fee. The service will
use the 802.11b and 802.11a standards." [Insurance & Technology Online,
