I am currently gathering research data (ie: stories) for horror-experiences with equal access and hotel PBX's. That is, I am collecting stories of people who have tried to use the carrier of their choice while staying at hotels and have found out that they have no choice and must instead use the carrier the hotel has chosen. Please send your story to simsong@media-lab.mit.edu Your story may be used in a class-action law suit against hotel operators. Please include your full name, address, and phone number. Thanks.. ...simson

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
