Comment on Hotel Wi-Fi blocking: Marriott is badparent

Comments

Do you have a source for that? I read the actual FCC announcement from FCC.gov and it says:

"Marriott employees had used containment features of a Wi-Fi monitoring system at the Gaylord Opryland to prevent individuals from connecting to the Internet via their own personal Wi-Fi networks, while at the same time charging consumers, small businesses and exhibitors as much as $1,000 per device to access Marriott's Wi-Fi network."

In your room or in the conference center you should be able to use your own Wi-Fi without interference.
