Intercontinental Hotels Group (IHG) has flagged plans to deploy converged voice/video/data networks more widely throughout its hotel chain after a landmark project in mid-2006 proved the technology's worth.
InterContinental Hotel Group plans to upgrade its in-house entertainment systems serving 4 and 5 star hotels throughout Asia-Pacific with a digital video-on-demand platform that could net technology provider (Entertainment Media Technologies) over AU$50 million over the next three years.
The local stockmarket was swayed today by a firmer finish on overseas markets overnight, and despite a recent tech-stock slide, their values improved early today and finished in good form.
Local investors have been holding back this week, but an optimistic outlook for the US economy rallied investor support -- the inspiration behind the Australian market's rise today.
The Australian sharemarket closed higher today, with the telco space showing some firm gains and the tech sector giving pleasing performances.
Tim Harvey, CIO of Hilton Hotels, tells of technologies that will turn hotel rooms into "homes away from home".
