I've been working on a <a href="http://www.nlevels.com" rel="nofollow">service</a> that can be used to take a different approach to the same problem, with hopefully some additional benefits around more structured searching and linking to related information. This is described <a href="http://nlevels.blogspot.com/2007/10/using-n-levels-to-track-hotel-wi-fi.html" rel="nofollow">in more detail</a> on my blog.

It's the hotels that skimp on their connection out to an ISP. 50 business travelers on 802.11b wi-fi connections, in a hotel that only has a couple DSL or T-1 lines out to the internet is not going to make for a good user experience.

At the Omni in Montreal and the Allegro in Chicago, I was treated to 256kbps high speed internet. Granted it was free but 256 isn't high speed.
