Hotel - Motel Internet Connections
Posted by Administrator on Jul 13, 2007
If you look at an ad or signage on a Hotel - Motel you’ll typically see something like “Free Internet”, “Free Wi-Fi”, or “High Speed Internet”. However, if you’re a business class user not all Internet connections are created equally. If a good Internet connection is important, there are some questions you may want to ask.
As an example; I chose a hotel in Hot Springs Arkansas which stated in its ad that it had “Free Wi-Fi”. When I checked in and inquired about their Internet connection, the person at the front desk informed me that the hotel down the street had “Free Wi-Fi” and I could piggy-back off their connection if I had a good wireless card. Needless to say we went on down the road and stayed at Embassy Suites which charges for their Internet connection ($9.95 per night) which was decent, but not impressive.
As more business users, travellers and vacationers require a “decent” Internet connection, I believe this will become a key factor in hotel - motel ratings. In my previous post I mentioned Crown Plaza. They chose to blame the ISP rather than having a backup or solution to solve poor wireless connectivity issues.
Crown Plaza, Cincinnati, Ohio - Internet Review
Posted by Administrator on Jul 13, 2007
During vacation this week my family and I stayed at the Crown Plaza hotel in Cincinnati, Ohio on our way home from New York. My two primary criteria were an Internet connection and swimming pool. Both ended up being a dissapointment. The Crown offers wireless Internet (more on this in a later post), but had different zones within the hotel. I just happened to get a room in a bad zone. By the time was done jacking around with my Internet connection the pool had closed and gates chained for the night.
After calling the front desk, I was informed that I had two options; Call the Internet Service Provider or move to a room on a higher level.
I called the ISP and they said if I was connecting to the network there was nothing they could do to help me. The front desk blamed the poor Internet connectivity on the ISP. Next, I tried plan B, I went up to the fifth floor with my laptop to see if I could get a better connection in a different zone. This proved fruitless as well.
This has prompted me to work on another post to discuss Internet connectivity and how much it varies from one hotel to another and an a funny story to help emphasize my point.
There was one highlight with my stay at the Crown Plaza… they have some of the best crab cakes I’ve ever eaten.

Plano Red Light Cameras - What’s Wrong
Posted by Administrator on Jun 17, 2007
As I’ve watched the recent news regarding the city of Plano red light camera issue I wonder where we’ll be five years from now. I find it ironic that municipalities which typically sell intersection / red light cameras as a means to save lives, curb crime is really a revenue generator.
The city of Plano will make a million dollars annually from residents that run red lights and the state gets half the revenue. I’m wondering how all this gets sold to residents. It seems the next phase as state and city municipalities turn technology into revenue generators is to add speed sensors, smog sensors, and anything else they can think of to increase state and local revenue.
It brings to mind the big brother debate and the question of data privacy for citizens. With toll tags that track your every mile, cell phones with GPRS, there is litterally no place you or I can go without big brother having the ability to track every foot you or I travel each day.
Technology used by municipalities is always sold as something that is supposed to enhance and make our lives better, but the more time I spend understanding technology, the more I see it as a tool to manage the masses like cattle.
What are your thoughts? What’s next after red light cameras?
