Motorola & Swisscom pair up on "advanced guest services" for hotels

Sure fitting in a few flat panels and a state of the art communications system is no problem in a brand new hotel, but what about existing ones? Swisscom's got an answer, signing a deal with Motorola to distribute the mT2a PowerBroadband system in hotels across Europe and North America. The key about this system, is everything needed to bring HDTV, VOD and high speed internet to a room, is included in a wallplate that replaces a traditional phone jack, no set top box needed. Cheaper and easier to implement makes it a little more likely that even a hotel you've been to many times before might be HD ready the next time you swing through.
