It sort of had to start happening. Marriott apparently aims to provide
wireless access at 400 hotels in Germany, the U.K. and the U.S.
FWIW, wireless access != being on the Internet
Many places use NATs and/or firewalls, or require registered MAC
addresses (some require that the registration be done 'from that MAC').
For all those reasons, it's not yet clear whether Marriot's style of
'access' is what the IETF requires. For example, many IETF hotels have
had Wayport access in the bedrooms, but few of us would accept that for
the meeting as a whole.
