Chromecast is now getting built into hotel TV systems

Watching online video on your hotel television could soon be as easy as watching on your phone as Chromecast heads to hotel TV systems.

Sonifi, a provider of TV and Internet services for hotels, is partnering with Google on a Chromecast-based system for guest rooms, dubbed SoniCast. Instead of having to bring their own $35 Chromecast dongles, and employ elaborate workarounds to get them working on hotel Wi-Fi, guests would just connect their phones to the hotel’s Wi-Fi network and Cast video from supported apps, just like they would at home. The system then makes sure that each guest can only Cast to their own television. More of this article from PCWorld.com
