Thanks Will-yes I had a good time in StL. McD here where I live has free wifi.

Yes-it looks like a nice hole to fill but as with anything-the cost and efforts involves probably holds things back

Larry,
Glad you had a chance to visit my town, hopefully besides the wifi incident it was a good visit. I’ve also noticed the local McD’s charging for what used to be free wifi here in stl.

This ‘hole in the system’ sounds like a need someone could fill and market to hotels, much like the red-light camera companies are doing to local municipalities. find a need and fill it, right?

Paying for wi-fi… arrgghhh!! I was up in Syracuse for a few days last week and before I booked the room the first thing I wanted to know was “Do you offer free Wi-Fi?”.

I actually included the term in my search “Hotel Syracuse + Free wi-fi.

If enough of do this… pretty soon all hotels will offer it. I say boycott all hotels that try to make money from this.
