Marriott International and subsidiary Marriott Hotel Services will pay $600,000 to settle a U.S. Federal Communications Commission dispute

alleging the company blocked mobile hotspots at one of its properties, the agency reported Friday. FCC investigated a complaint by an attendee of a March 2013 event at the Gaylord Opryland in Nashville that claimed the company jammed mobile hotspots in the property's convention space so that attendees had to pay fees ranging from $250 to $1,000 per device to access Marriott's network. FCC investigation determined Marriott had used a Wi-Fi monitoring system to contain and deactivate guest-created hotspots. Besides the civil penalty, resolution terms also require Marriott to stop unlawful use of Wi-Fi-blocking technology and file compliance reports with the FCC Enforcement Bureau every three months for three years, according to the FCC.
