Honestly, I think captive portals are probably on the way out, given how good 4G/5G is these days. I am not sure what business traveler wants 10kbps hotel wifi for $30/day when their phone gets 600Mbps down and 30Mbps up.

Most hotel wifi I’ve seen is free now. It’s still a captive portal for some reason - sometimes room/name but often just “click to accept”
