Hyatt Hotels & Resorts announced that it has begun the rollout of wireless Internet service. Within 12 months, the company said it would offer wireless access based on the Wi-Fi standard in the lobbies, public areas and some guest rooms of more than 200 properties.

The service coverage will be provided by T-Mobile, and is expected to cost users $9.95 a day, unless they are existing T-Mobile subscribers.

Wi-Fi is expected to be available in more than 25,000 hotels by 2007 worldwide (currently the number is around 6,000 hotels).
