"Many
of our guests have expressed an interest in wireless Internet access. Providing
business travelers and meeting attendees the ability to work in a wireless
environment with convenient online access during conferences and group meetings
creates a distinct competitive advantage," |
|
---- Lou Paladeau, Marriott's vice president of technology business development
|
"When offered in guestrooms or public areas, wireless access also has the
potential to drive occupancy by appealing to high-tech business travelers who
already use the service at airports, coffee shops, or other "hotspot"
locations" |
| ---- Steve Duncan, technology writer, HotelBusiness.com
