      According to the article, Marriott wasn't using 'jammers' per se - and they weren't blocking cellular signals, they were only affecting personal wifi hotspots.

      I'm guessing the tech works by broadcasting the same SSID as the detected hotspot, then sends out garbage to confuse any clients trying to associate.

      That would be jamming 🙂

              Yeah, I don't see that being a very convincing argument.
