couldn't agree more. When I think of high end, I think of 'all inclusive' and other marketing speak intended to convey a sense of worrylessness, just pay and forget. And then they charge for checking email...I guess they probably know that someone looking to spend twice as much on a room (at least) is probably not bothered by a bit more for internet, but it seems like they should just tack it on to the rate if they are determined to squeeze out that tiny bit more revenue for internet. Granted, I don't know what their margins look like, maybe thats where they come from althought that would be pretty pathetic. I suppose if that is a decent way of adding margin, they can slightly lower their rate but given that most of their peers are probably in the same boat I can't quite reason why they wouldn't just include it.
