Nice commercial application for the Internet?

I am forwarding this from an Ontario local news group since
it mentions a possible application for a commercialized
Internet which I haven't seen mentioned before and which appeals to me.
I am hoping the company can make an arrangement for service. In my
opinion Internet-accessable hotel reservation systems would be extremely
convenient and useful, particularly if they were widely available,
but I know I'm biased. What would be more interesting to know would
be the hotel's opinion after a year or so's worth of experience with
trying to operate a system like that.

What options are available for a full internet connection for
a commercial company in Hamilton, Ontario. I have seen some
reference to ONet, is this something I might be looking at.
The reason for the request is that although my company is not
in a computer related field (we are a hotel actually), we would
like to experiment with allowing rlogins to a front-end to
our reservations system. We find that we get a lot of reservations
from academic institutions and these could be made easier by
letting them contact our computer directly.
