A couple of bucks is fine. In the hotel we're staying at tonight, it's
$15/day. I think they're just being stupid. At $15, almost no one will
use it, this isn't a business person's hotel, it's a resort hotel. At $5
a day, a lot of people would probably use it. I'll take a list of free
WiFi hots pots with me.
