Ironically, I suspect that it's for the same reason that East Germany has
right up to the minute telephony services these days, while West German is
still sucking hind tit:
The big properties are, over all, likely to skew somewhat older in
building construction, and because of that, they're not built/wired
for the internal transport; too much rebar in the walls blocking wifi
and stuff like that.
Plus they have more corporate inertia in actually getting it done.
Or, they just don't care. They don't have to. They're... oh, nevermind.
