Hotel Technology Problems
More hotels are providing Internet access for their guests and it is fast becoming one of the most requested amenities. At the BITAC Tech & Operations 2007 conference the discussion centred around the technology problems this can pose for hotels.
A central theme was the demand for more bandwidth as guests are doing more than surf the Internet and are using the Internet connection to:
• Download music and video
• Watch TV
• Use VOIP applications such as Skype
• Access VPNs for business purposes
Heavy usage of the available bandwidth slows down the system for all guests so it poses a challenge for hoteliers in terms of charging structures and infrastructure

1 GB for $15 plus $5 modem charge. This is the cheapest mobile broadband plan available and excellent if you need email and Internet while on the move.
