I’ve just been away on business to Amsterdam with a group of my associates where we spent the majority of time in a single room discussing a project. Although we didn’t spent a lot of time on the Internet – in fact, we tried desparately to keep laptops closed so we could concentrate on the matter at hand.<\/p>\n
However, checking email and calls home to the various homes via Skype required Internet access. The cost was almost prohibitive, but it was a necessary expense and so therefore unavoidable.<\/p>\n
Why so expensive? <\/p>\n
Internet access is cheap, especially in a large modern city like Amsterdam. Is it because the hotel knows it’s now almost a requirement and can therefore cash-in? Other hotels manage to give it away free, so it’s not a blanekt policy in the industry.<\/p>\n
