According to this unredacted article the Marriott chain has been jamming
and disrupting WiFi signals on it's properties and then charging through
the nose for it's own WiFi service. FCC got notified, they
investigated, and fined Marriott $600K for this practice. Must also
cease and desist it at all it's properties. Marriott, of course, says
they did nothing wrong.

The later version of the article removed the paragraph with the brand
names of the jamming equipment.
So that discussion we had a couple years ago about jamming cell phones
and so on in our venues, not such a good idea in the USA.
