Hyatt have added some new benefits for elites, the most useful of which is free internet for platinums and diamonds.

Domestically, free internet access at a hotel is no big deal for me as I can access the VF network via a bluetooth connection between my laptop and mobile phone (part of monthly plan) - plan came unstuck, however, in Tas where there is no 3G network:shock:, and the connnection was extremely slow!!With decent monthly 3G wireless data plans down to under $50/ mth, I think hotels internet earnings will be dropping through the floor, particularly for road warriors.
My office has just bought a number of the new Telstra Turbo21 USB sticks for this purpose exactly - couple of uses a month and they pay for themselves.
Overseas, it is a different matter, and free hotel internet access (in partic. to use Skype to call home, and make other landline calls at reasonable rates) is a God send!
