[nfb-talk] Convention in Orlando for 5 years

Wed Jul 13 22:41:57 UTC 2011

Well, how much do other large hotels charge? Some small hotels have no 
charge, but they do have several public computers to use; they know business 
people need to conduct business.
I wonder what is reasonable? Compare that to other hotels to find out.

That amount is something like the mob would charge.  There is absolutely no
reason to charge that much except that they think they can.
