Plenty of the Mom and Pop motels along El Camino advertise in big
letters "free broadband in every room". What you are seeing is just
the standard problem with large organizations. The local Hilton
manager probably has no authority to make changes like adding
broadband, while the organization as a whole is still stuck in 1990
and won't realize there's something like broadband till five years
from now. This is no different from the unbelievably stupid ways in
which we see all large companies using (and not using) tech
everyday---eg the infamous call up an 800#, punch in some sort of
ID number, then get routed to an operator who immediately asks you
for exactly the same number.
