I was finally able to check into our hotel room. We are staying at the Intercontinental Hotel. The hotel is rated at 5 stars and many delegates have stayed here from around the world. It is a very nice hotel, but I am only rating it at 3 stars. My rating is based on the fact that you are charged separately for Internet service per each computer. Don't get me wrong, everything is very nice here, but I am convinced that the appearance of a building does not compete with access to Web 2.0. McDonalds in Buffalo has free high-speed Internet, need I say more? The Internet should not be considered an amenity, but rather it needs to be viewed as a necessity. If we are going to stay competitive as a country and educate ALL of our students we will need to make sure we develop more and cheaper access to high-speed Internet. The sooner we are able to accomplish this task we will be able to bridge the gaps between varied learners while connecting with the world. What are your thoughts on this issue? Do you have high-speed Internet? Is cost a factor? Availability? Feel free to comment.
Until next time.

Very well said. I agree that wireless internet should be free, considering its a five star hotel and the amount paid to stay in it would easily cover the cost of it.
They charge for internet ? Lame. Is there a pool there? Do you have to be dressed in all of those fancy clothing in the hotel and do you even have any of those clothing things?
