Amen. It's about time, there is no use for porn in hotel rooms, kids can easily turn it on.

I have been looking at the different studies and theories that have been coming out recently about this. It can have many negative effects (porn, that is) and it looks like Hyatt is running with that idea. Good on them.
But fellas, "what consenting adults do in the privacy of one's own home/hotel room is no one's business."
(I've heard that lie from Libertarians and liberals so often that I have it memorized).
Theocrats!
ok doser
lifeguard at the cement pond
do they plan to block porn sites from wifi?
This isn't about what consenting adults are or aren't doing, but about the industry Hilton was facilitating. Good on them. I'm pleasantly surprised to see an industry leader putting that foot forward. I hope they see increased family business out of it.
I'm sure not....This is what tickles me whenever I see a corporation do something like this. Everyone falls all over themselves giving the old "thumbs-up" when the fact of the matter is probably closer to the demand falling off so much, due to free Wi-Fi, that it's no longer profitable for the hotel to supply the service.

As in putting a foot forward to promote sexual morality, i.e. traditional family values?

Why is the sin that the Hyatt, you and others promote better than the sin of pornography?
Thank you Tom; if there is a nickel to be made by these godless corporations, they'll find a way to make it. If something isn't profitable they scrap it.

That has been my experience. :idunno:...It is true that their "image" is very important to them though. A good "image" is profitable.
Maybe. I always suspect a bottom line philosophy from most business, but it could also have to do with the success of chains like Chic fil A and the notion that separating yourself as a family friendly, culturally responsible player is a draw they think would offset any potential loss, assuming one.I'm sure not....This is what tickles me whenever I see a corporation do something like this.

Whatever the motivation, I hope it reaps rewards since it serves the good and I have no problem giving them a huge thumbs up for the change, regardless of the bottom line motivations, either as you saw the possibility or in my note on potential.
You rascally cynic you.

What "image" would that be Tom? If you're stating that pornography goes against traditional morality, then why is the Hyatt given such high accolades by the LGBTQueer movement? (as seen in the links to my post to Town Heretic).

Oh that is most certainly what they do. When they were contacted this time (I really doubt this is the first time it was complained about.) regarding in-room "movies" I'm sure they did the same cost/benefit analysis they always do. This time with revenues being a fraction of what they were for this service; you pull the option, draft a press release, and call yourself a hero. :BRAVO:The shareholders (Those who I affectionately call "The Real Customers") eat this stuff up.
Whatever "image" is currently on the "correct" side of pop culture. I assure you it has nothing to do with "traditional morality" and everything to do with the subjective morality of the majority. :idunno:

Very astute.
You're right, why would someone pay over $10 to watch a porn flick on a TV in their hotel room when they can watch it for much less or free on their laptop.
When did pop culture decide that pornography is a no-no? If there is some kind of religious revival in America, I must have not caught wind of it.
Regarding the Hyatt: They're still as "diverse" today as the Chicago Hyatt Regency was 7 years ago.

Probably.
Wouldn't surprise me to see them start offering discounts on rooms to gay honeymooners.
:nono: No...It's got nothing to do with religion, or even traditional sexual mores for that matter, but more to do with feminism...Links to human trafficking and all that.
For example from the Huffington Post:
Want to Stop Sex Trafficking? Look to America's Porn Addiction
Looks like they're going to have to work a little harder to make this one pay off then.
