Marriott fined $600,000 by FCC for blocking guests' Wi-Fi | cnn.com

Think hotels are deliberately blocking your personal Wi-Fi networks so you'll buy theirs? No, it's not just a conspiracy theory. It turns out the federal government is concerned about it, too. Marriott has agreed to pay a $600,000 fine after the Federal Communications Commission found the company blocked consumer Wi-Fi networks last year during an event at a hotel and conference center in Nashville.
