This is pretty standard. I haven't seen it in a while, but hotels used to charge $15 a night for internet. I guess the budget/mid-tier hotels were the first to give.
I thought it was robbery. And many times the hotel wifi is absurdly slow. Thats why I tether with my unlimited data.
And I'd guess it's not about gouging rich people, but taking advantage of corporate travel expenses. I've seen many policies that WON'T pay for hotel internet. So when you start talking corporate, there's already often discounts negotiated.
