>What is wrong with a hotel allowing access to only one carrier? >Or with a hotel not even HAVING any phone service? (The latter >may be a good selling feature!) If a hotel customer doesn't like >what the hotel provides, he can always find another hotel. > ...Keith >>Because only having one carrier may be a violation of federal >>regulation. Specifically, anti-trust laws and the like. I agree with Keith. This is the same "the world owes me a living" mentality that demands the highest of quality from a faceless "Ma Bell" while resisting any increases in cost. It is best exemplified by the socialist fools at Consumer Reports. If the hotel can choose who will provide mattresses, room TVs, etc why not telephone service? If they abuse the customers they will lose business. Makes sense to me! +HECTOR+ -------
