Hi speed access as standard in hotel rooms/lobbies is not as common in Europe as it is in the US.

Actually developed European countries (Finland, Germany, Denmark, France etc.) have much more advanced communication technology then US. It is said that they are 3-4 years ahead.

I traveled to Germany and Netherlands last year and broadband internet was in every hotel.

Also, when dial up was still dominating US market in late 90s and early 2000s, Europe long ago switched to DSL and ISDN. Dial up there was unheard of at that time.

Just my 2 cents.

The technology is ahead, but from my perspective at least(i've installed a few wireless networks in hotels here), its not standard in european hotels to offer it to their guests. I've never been in a US hotel that didn't offer it, but plenty in europe that havent.

i love how jimm went from being hated by most, loved by the few who cared about poker, to being the go-to-guy when it came to answering questions about nosebleed NLHE.

Congrats Jimm, you've earned it!!

wow, i thought 2p2ers were good at detecting leveling and witty sarcastic comments,

the question was in fact a statement saying that since negreanu joined starts every single decent player that likes money is now playing at stars .

negreanu is to stars as noataima is to ftp.
