Marriott International has agreed to pay the government $600,000 to resolve allegations that it blocked access to guests’ personal Wi-Fi networks at its Gaylord Opryland Hotel.
The Federal Communications Commission says the hotel used a monitoring system to block Internet access via guests’ Wi-Fi hotspots while charging $250 to $1,000 for a wireless access point, depending on the plan.
