I didn't realize they were going to go with the high speed internet, i thought it was going to be the cable kind that you plug in to your computer.
So it's still $10 a day! That stinks!
Okay, thanks!

Ummm...how do YOU get your high speed internet?
It usually involves a cable. It could be distributed by Wi-Fi within the building, but it still generally comes in over a cable.
Since the rooms are already wired, and most every laptop made in the past several years comes with a wired ethernet port but not necessarily a Wi-Fi card (although its getting harder to find one without), AND the rooms are already wired, it makes sense to support that.
If you were adding to a building that didn't already have the wiring, putting Wi-Fi access points would make more sense, but it takes several to cover a whole building. Wi-Fi degrades pretty poorly with heavy use.
Some resorts already have Wi-Fi "hotspots", although you still have to pay for the service. I don't know if they are being included in the "free internet" plan, as they may be billed differently (they offer a a partial day - 1 hour maybe? - option not available on the wired connections).
Any other delivery mechanism would be hard pressed to be called "high speed", although there really is no definition. It's a marketing term.
