The Wall Street Journal has an excellent article on how hotels, especially the ones that call themselves “design” and “trendy” in one sentence, transport their guests to the equivalent of technology hell: complicated ways to turn off the lights, TVs and iPods that don’t work, and the worst — poor or nonexistent wireless Internet access. Like the people interviewed in the story, my biggest complaint about hotel Internet access is bandwidth (in the US, it’s very slow) and price ($9.95 per day — I think it should be free).
