Wifi rant
Written on January 30th 2009, filed under Life & Work with 0 comments.
I’m sitting in the conference room of one of the most exclusive hotels in Brussels, Le Meridien, and I’m writing this in a word processor. The reason? There’s no internet access here. Well, there is internet access but turns out that you’ve got to pay a hefty sum of money to get access to it.
Let me ask you this question: Why can I stroll into any fast food restaurant on the planet and get free internet access, but not in one of the worlds finest hotels?
In a final irony, if you want internet access you’ll need to buy a pre paid card. At least the airports I visit allow me to use a credit card to get access.
It’s 2009. Offering wifi to your customers and visitors isn’t an exclusive additional service anymore. The internet is a vital tool of business, giving your guests access to it should be the most normal thing in the world. But hey, at least they’ve got a wifi network set up. The last hotel I stayed at didn’t even have one.
