Top hotel in Denver goes WiFi, using coaXmedia

Some of us have to go to Denver, presumably as penitence for past since, or to shed out of date karma ... and we can now stop at Hotel Teatro with our WiFi equipped devices.

I mention this to encourage the laggards, like, for example, the Crown Plaza hotel in London, where I was trying to file reports yesterday. Nice and handy for Buckingham Palace, but nowhere near the Internet. Same applies to the dullards in the Langham Hilton, close enough to the BBC to shout into the studios, but not on the Web.

Hotel Teatro was rated as the top hotel in Denver by the 2003 Zagat Survey of top U.S. hotels, and it didn't hire coaXmedia; no, it "has partnered with coaXmedia" to provide high-speed Internet access (HSIA) to individual guest rooms as well as Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) Internet service in the hotel's public spaces, including the Mezzanine lobby and restaurant jou jou.

No WiFi in rooms I notice. I think I'll file a patent on the idea of putting WiFi in hotel rooms, since nobody else has managed to crack the technology ...

The hotel is on the web, as is Coaxmedia. Enough of these funny capitalisations, already.
