Good observation. Most hotels get their TVs free, provided by Video-on-Demand/On-Command, and therefore don't have much choice in the design of the remotes. But you are right. At least they can keep them clean and replace the worn ones. TV is the single most important entertainment/info center in a guestroom. With the integration of STS Hotel Net’s Internet-driven technology, On Command’s television platform will become Web-centric. The seamless integration of the two technologies will provide guests with access to a broad range of entertainment and information services from a single source. The control will be by keyboards. Hopefully they will keep the keyboards clean too.
