The begining of the end for expensive hotel Internet as Tourism Australia proposes free Wi-Fi across all hotels in the country

Tourism Australia, the country’s top tourism body, is asking thousands of Australian hotels to provide free wi-fi to end exorbitant in-room internet bills. Currently, hotels in Sydney and Melbourne charge up to $29 a day for internet use in their rooms. The GM of consumer marketing for Tourism Australia, Nick Baker, says the widespread adoption of free wi-fi will generate "priceless" international exposure for Australia.
