Marriott fined $600,000 for jamming Wi-Fi at Nashville hotel | US news | theguardian.com: "The government said people who purchase cellular data plans should be able to use them without fear that their personal connection will be blocked.

 “It is unacceptable for any hotel to intentionally disable personal hotspots while also charging consumers and small businesses high fees to use the hotel’s own Wi-Fi network,” Travis LeBlanc, chief of the FCC’s enforcement bureau said in a statement. “This practice puts consumers in the untenable position of either paying twice for the same service or forgoing Internet access altogether." 'via Blog this'
