Hotels that block personal Wi-Fi hotspots will get busted, says FCC

The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) didn't mince its words: hotels that block Wi-Fi are breaking the law.

From a warning posted on Tuesday:
In the 21st Century, Wi-Fi represents an essential on-ramp to the internet. Personal Wi-Fi networks, or "hotspots", are an important way that consumers connect to the internet. Willful or malicious interference with Wi-Fi hotspots is illegal.
