The question is "how much it helps". Everyone can easily find that
caching Google logo is possible, also some pictures from big media
companies webs. Also some program updates may help.
I'm not sure what will be cache hit ratio from YouTube (because of very
log tail) or facebook pictures.
Number of hotel guests is really limited.

The question is:
Is investment for buying TLMC and operation costs for TLMC profitable
for the hotel?
Seems to me like question:
Is investment and operation costs for high bandwidth connection
profitable for the hotel?
The discussion is really about the hotel business, the best way for the
community is to provide a feedback for hotel managers what is expected
(for free and for the money). And, eventually, provide a kind of metric.
What is really annoying, is when you pay for broken connection.
