Just what you need to add the advantage of plug and play to hotspots.

The hospitality industry has been one of the first to see the potential that the Internet offers to help it generate more revenue. And the buzzword at the moment is 'hotspots'.Hotel guests are no exception when it comes to requiring Internet access at all times. Especially, business travelers, who are more than willing to pay a premium or it, wherever they may be. Whether it's the airport, hotel room or while traveling. The opportunity to stay in touch via a phone is now not enough. Business travellers need access to information on their wireless enabled PDAs or portable computers 24x7.

The answer? Hotspots! But to convert it into a success takes a lot more than just an Internet connection. Flexible billing with the proper management procedures and a lot else is required to run a successful hot spot.
