Does anyone know if there will be Internet access of any type in public
areas for BF06?

I don't mean in hotel rooms, as I will be staying at my parents near
Dulles Airport, but they only have dialup, and I'd like to clear my mail
each day at BF if possible.  It would be nice to know if the hotel it is
being held in has wireless or not.

The Sheraton site at
http://www.starwoodhotels.com/sheraton/property/features/index.html?propertyID=691
lists "Business Center/Services", but doesn't go into details.  Knowing
if they have access, and if it is free (or the charges if it isn't)
would be helpful.



The wireless internet access appears to be provided by Wayport:

The Wayport website says that their pricing is "Single hotel connection
Typically $9.95 (but may vary by location) Unlimited high-speed Net in a
guestroom or common area.* Valid from purchase time until hotel's next check-in
time in guestrooms and until midnight in hotel lobbies.", which seems to match
up with the 9.95 that the hotel said.
