This is, IMHO, very frustrating. Who does travel with only device in 2011? We're on a family vacation and between tablets, computers & smartphone, carry 8 devices. The hotel was very strict about their policy and said they would charge us 8 times if all devices were connected at the same time. Do they really expect customers to pay US$120 per day for Internet access???

to quote the star fleet commander. "put the devices away and go get a life"

i do not usually carry a computer with me. and, yes i am computer literate. first started working with those fool things back in the early 60's and o personal computers about the time of cpm(?) and xerox systems. before MS and IBM.
