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.
