What’s the Issue?
The first thing children want to know about a hotel is, “Dad, does it have Wi-Fi?” Many needs have changed over the years including good internet service at your hotel. Now hotel guests ask about internet service rather than the pool. Good internet service attracts clients and businesses to your hotel.
Everyone in a hotel competes for internet access causing a tremendous demand for wireless, VOIP, live-streaming, conference requirements, web-surfing and email. However, illegal downloads seriously affect internet access within a hotel. Too many occurrences directly affect the hotel’s ability to satisfy its guests’ demands.
What is an illegal download?
An illegal download is the theft of copyrighted material that would otherwise have to be paid for. In a hotel setting, this typically involves the downloading of music and movies without paying.
Issues with Downloads
Illegally downloading requires specific software on the user’s computer. No one can control this, but the hotel internet system can be protected. In Missouri, the owner of the hotel shoulders the responsibility of providing protection, otherwise, the following may occur:
- The service provider sues the hotel to obtain the name(s) of the user.
- The provider could terminate service to the hotel if non-compliance continues.
How Does the Hotel Comply?
A simple, but imperfect solution exists for the complex issue of illegal downloads. Installation of a low-cost program blocks illegal downloading, however, it blocks all file downloading. The computer system can’t differentiate between legal or illegal downloads. Skyspan Wireless creates a workable solution which limits the impact on the hotel as well as on the guests.
