Today's special - make your own movie
This belongs to the cars-will-be-free kind of business model thinking. How about free hotel stay but you just have to pay for the data center and IT services ! Not exactly that but Hotel Tribeca GrandHotel in New York is going close to that vision.
Brilliant move by Tribeca Grandhotel in New York by making a case that you dont have to carry around your little data center with you all the time. When you check into their hotels you get fully equipped Apple machines. iStudio comes fully equipped with all the gadgets you need to make your own tour movie.
I think this idea will eventually get copied and lot of hotels will be stuffing their rooms with software and hardware relevant to the conferences happening in their town. It makes sense. (Atleast we can avoid doing bluetoothing sitting in the breakfast lobby just to share that minor tweak in the sales presentation.)
If customers spend more time in their rooms they will be consuming more add-on services. Cost of software and hardware will payoff in the long run.
Neat idea.
