Marriott's announcement was that they had signed an agreement with
T-Mobile to provide the 802.11b network services. This is the same
company that provides the services at Starbucks in the U.S. My personal
opinion is that the service is pretty poor.
The available subscription plans are enumerated here for the U.S.:

they have one too, even if they don't provide what you want (i.e., NAT).
FWIW.
