FCC Seeking Comment on Marriott Petition for Guidance on Wi-Fi Network Protections

The FCC said it’s seeking comment on a petition from Marriott, the American Hospitality & Lodging Association and Ryman Hospitality Properties seeking FCC guidance on what they should do to protect the security and quality of their Wi-Fi networks. Marriott agreed last month to pay $600,000 to resolve an FCC investigation into whether the hotel company intentionally interfered with and disabled Wi-Fi networks at a Tennessee convention center (see 1410060039). The comment deadline is Dec. 19, the FCC said.
