This has been done at Hyatt properties that used to simply give elites a password at check-in. Now some properties have moved to a model where elites get the base internet speed for free (w X number of devices allowed), with the option to buy up to a higher speed with X+additional devices allowed.

It'll be interesting to see if the full service Hilton properties move to this model as well.
