As a public service, Mobile Weblog passes on HotelChatter's list of the best hotel WiFi (in the US) list for 2006, via Boing Boing. The survey gives the biggest shout out to Kimpton Hotels, which correlates with my experience. Tomorrow HotelChatter will bring us the worst hotels for the service.

Also on Boing Boing, a deserved rant against Swisscom's WiFi service as delivered by the Victoria Park plaza hotel in London, charging $838.73 per day for WiFi if you buy it on the hourly rate. A lot of hotels and other establishments could be busted for doing the same thing. I guess it's because WiFi costs so much to deliver to the end user ;-).

Did you know there is a new cool and intimate new sushi place in Rome which offers high quality Japanese foods for eating or take-away, and offers great hand-made cakes and free wifi to all customers? http://naoko-sushi-roma.blogspot.com/
