Hotels Continue The Battle Against Bandwidth Shortages

You can expect to see a difference in the accessibility of free internet service in hotels in the near future. As the demand for fast internet access in hotels increases, the need to increase internet bandwidth mirrors the trend. Since most hotel guests expect free Wi-Fi with their stays, hotels must find a way to afford this expensive commodity. Internet bandwidth is expensive, yet crucial for a hotel to stay within the competition. There are a variety of options hoteliers must choose from to battle these bandwidth challenges:

• One plausible option is to go into a tiered rate. Those who want to download and upload files may be charged a fee, whereas those using the internet to send an email or browse the web will not be charged.
• Some hotels are considering offering free internet access to loyalty club members only.
• Once more mobile devices begin supporting 802.11ac and the prices of the newly designed fast internet service goes down, hotels may begin investing into this durable service.
