In-Stat/MDR Reports Hotel Broadband Market Getting Hot Again After 3-Year Slump

Laptop Battery SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 3, 2004--The hotel broadband market continues to heat up as deployments and revenues climb substantially in 2004, reports In-Stat/MDR (http://www.instat.com). The high-tech market research firm finds that, while the concept of hotel broadband had a rocky beginning, the market has since stabilized, and hotels, guests, and providers alike are embracing the idea. Total properties deployed will grow from 5,207 in 2003 to 26,828 in 2008.
"Hotel broadband has come a long way since the concept emerged over five years ago," said Amy Cravens, a senior analyst with In-Stat/MDR. "From the level of interest hotels and guests expressed for the service to the methods and means that the service is deployed and managed, very little about hotel broadband has remained the same." Despite a seeming collapse of hotel broadband in 2001, as of mid-year 2004, a fury of deployment activity is occurring, as hotels across the board, from the small "no-frills" properties to the large luxury resorts, are viewing broadband as a "must have." Cravens said, "The primary driving factor is guest demand for broadband service and hotels see broadband now as an essential element of the guest room, along with a bed, telephone, and TV, there must be broadband access." In addition, In-Stat/MDR notes a variety of other factors that have impacted the ability of the hotel broadband market to expand, including exposure, flexibility in the overall business model, expanded coverage, and new applications.
