In addition to the $600,000 civil penalty, Marriott will have to cease blocking guests, hand over details of any access point containment features to the FCC across its entire portfolio of owned or managed properties, and finally file compliance and usage reports each quarter for the next three years.
And how about refund everyone?
- smackfu 12y agoThat would probably require a class action suit.
- kirillzubovsky 12y agoSome lawyer somewhere is probably already calling up all and every Marriott guest on this planet.

- toomuchtodo 12y agoI had to support the IT functions of a corporate event at the Gaylord Opryland convention center ~18 months ago. Wouldn't mind joining a class action even if I don't see a dime after attempting to mitigate their wifi interference for a week.

- snowwrestler 12y agoThe power of the class action suit is that you don't need to call everyone up. You just need a representative group of clients (which can be quite small) for standing, and evidence and justification to convince the judge to certify a class. Most folks are not aware they are in a class until they get a letter from the losing company with their $9 check or whatever is left over after lawyer's fees. Edit: forgot a word
- haspoken 12y agoThe FCC thanks you for your generous contribution.
- aeturnum 12y agoProbably not within the powers of the FCC?

- eli 12y agoIt was for exhibitors at the convention hall. That's actually very cheap so far as these things go. You should see what they charge for a trash can or a chair.
