Techdirt has post about how hotels are purchasing mobile phone jammers to force people to pay the hotel’s vastly inflated phone charges. I’ve certainly experienced going into many hotels and not having any signal on the mobile. I thought this might have been to do with the construction of the hotel such as metal skins…Having said that, I’ve also seen many hotels block or charge large connection charges to 0808 numbers which means that I cant access Onetel’s internet access for 1p a minute from the hotel.

Isn’t there a law againt that?
Apparently so although I’m mighty tempted to buy one to zap all the idiots driving whilst on their non handsfree mobiles and for those posh people who can’t change the nokia tune 🙂
