Well, as TS, said the idea of earning xtra from tourist will lost our M'sian competitive edge when lotsa hotels in less developed countries also offering free internet services...for eg in Siem Riep - No problem getting FOC internet ..In hanoi, a 3 star hotel..Free Wifi wth 4mbps connection...super clear skype connection!..& in Taipei recently...10mbps free connection at a HOSTEL only.

I've travelled in many places in mainland Europe, the 4* hotels eg. Eden, Mercure generally don't have free internet while the cheaper hotels and B&B will have internet. The US tends to be the same, expensive Hiltons with no free wifi while the YMCA has free wifi.

I'm guessing that most of these four star and better hotels target business customers who have the deep pockets of the corporations to pay for internet access while smaller hotels target people paying with their own money.

I would argue however that a lot of tourist info on Malaysia is still available from the typical RM70 guide book, not from the internet. We still don't have a good equivalent of yelp (although LYN comes close )

KLCC Ampang Road....Corus Hotel Executive Room or President Room got free Wifi access with 4Mbps speed.

Normal double bed or single bed Room need pay RM38 for 24hour wifi service...speed also 4mbps

Well, I think that's the trend right now...4-5 stars hotels around the world charging for Internet usage unless comes wth package or luxury suite...and those budget hotels & certain 3 stars &below giving free access....

KL : Gardens Hotel: free wifi
Boulevard Hotel: free wifi (exec floors)
Impiana KLCC: free wifi

Penang: Evergreen Laurel: free wifi

Kelantan: Crystal Lodge: free wifi (signal not very strong)

Terengganu: Rumbia Resort: free wifi
