Free WiFi

Yesterday's New York Times hit on something I've noticed recently: the nicer the hotel, the more likely it will charge a separate fee for Internet service.

As reporter Michelle Higgins points out, high-end hotels attract guests who don't seem to mind paying $15 per day for Internet.

But it still seems odd that a $300/night room at the Westin doesn't include Internet while a $89 room at the Hampton Inn does.

As for me, I can't wait to get a MiFi.
