To me charging for internet (in hotels/resturatns) in 2012 is the same as charging for using the shower or lights.

You are being charged for the lights and the shower when you pay the bill. Or was that you're point and I missed it?

It will come, give it some time. Hotels (imho) charge one for the internet because it's a separate utility, the onsite staff are not capable of fixing it [1] when it breaks. Which happens a lot. So they outsource it.

When 'internet' is as common a utility as water and light, and as reliable, it will be in the bill, you'll never see it.
