In fact, I'd start my blame with the operations team or financial team for not understanding the demand for connectivity (which without analysis, maybe lower than you think) and for not budgeting one ethernet cord per room. I'm willing to bet the Hilton saves thousands, if not millions, under the current setup. They avoid theft and abuse. They don't confuse those that don't need it, and they certainly don't have to keep as many cables on hand. The executive that made that call most likely got a bonus that quarter. What you can do is blame the Marketing department for creating a biased, uncreative, lame buzz word. Perhaps the Marketing people have nothing to do with the lack of Ethernet cables in every room?
