High Speed Internet Access (HSIA): Mobile Internet

Hotels that don’t provide broadband Internet find it increasingly difficult to attract business travellers.

Business travellers in the UK were asked what would make them pick one hotel over another.

• 43% say free broadband internet in bedrooms

• 38% say free wireless internet access throughout the hotel

Internet usage in hotels increased significantly last year.

• In 2005, 11% of business travellers used the wi-fi service in a hotel

• In 2006, that figure jumped significantly to 24%.
