Is this a cheeky bird or what?

Internet at hotels

Something I don't understand: Why are hotels still charging for internet services? And why are they charging ridiculous amounts like 7 Euros for 1 hours?? Okay, I had a certain understanding back in the nineties when internet was something like "woooow, you have internet in your hotel?!", but not really today when whole businesses are run with internet. Why don't those guys just put 5 Euro on each room rate and then say internet is for free? Or actually, why don't they go to Japan and see how hotels operate there? Internet is never charged. 7 Euros per hour, give me a BREAK! This is literally what you normally pay per month...
