Hawthorn Suites by Wyndham in West Palm Beach, Florida Selects Comcast Business Hospitality
Top-ranking hotel upgrades to Comcast Ethernet, TV and voice services to boost performance and improve the guest experience
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Comcast Business, a unit of Comcast Cable, the nation’s largest video, high-speed Internet and phone provider to business and residential customers, today announced that Hawthorn Suites by Wyndham in West Palm Beach, Florida, has selected Comcast Business Hospitality for data, phone and TV services for its 112-suite property. The new Comcast services will increase Internet speeds to 100 Megabits per second (Mbps) using Comcast Ethernet, giving guests faster Internet access for business or personal use while staying at the hotel. The increased speeds will also help the hotel staff to conduct their daily operations more efficiently, and provide the convenience of a single provider for data, voice and video service.
“Our guests expect to check into our property and conduct business day or night,” said William Murray, general manager of the Hawthorn Suites – West Palm Beach. “Because we are an extended-stay hotel, our suites are often used as a remote office for traveling executives. The increased speed from the Comcast service allows our guests to work in their rooms with connection speeds that are the same as what they would have back at their office.”
Hawthorn Suites by Wyndham – West Palm Beach is an extended stay hotel that is located a short distance from Palm Beach International Airport and is conveniently located near many businesses and attractions. It caters to business travelers that are staying in the area for multiple days and people relocating to the area who are looking for temporary housing. The hotel has a top ranking by Trip Advisor – it is currently ranked #1 out of 34 hotels in the Palm Beach area.
Prior to working with Comcast, the hotel had a 3 Mbps service for all of its guests, and 3 Mbps for back office operations, both from another provider. With slow Internet connectivity, they decided to make a change in order to upgrade their technology and remain a top-ranking hotel. After an extensive review of available service providers, Hawthorn Suites selected Comcast Business to provide Ethernet, voice and TV services, which are all part of the Comcast Business Hospitality suite that is designed specifically for the needs of hotels and motels. The additional bandwidth not only gives guests faster Internet speeds, but the staff is able to process credit cards …read more

IMF to visit Egypt as nation seeks economic help
The International Monetary Fund is sending a senior official to Cairo this weekend to discuss issues that have delayed a $4.8 billion loan seen as a final lifeline to rescue Egypt, a political heavyweight in the region.
Egypt‘s multibillion dollar loan request is considered crucial to freeing up other loans and reassuring foreign investors who abruptly pulled their money out of the country when longtime authoritarian leader Hosni Mubarak was ousted from power in early 2011.
IMF spokesman William Murray said earlier this week that the global lender’s director for the Middle East and North Africa would arrive in Cairo Sunday.
Egypt said last month that it had invited the IMF, which reportedly is not happy with the nation’s proposed economic reform program, to resume negotiations that were suspended late last year amid violent clashes over the drafting of the country’s constitution. Talks with the IMF also stalled when President Mohammed Morsi quickly rescinded tax increases for fear of the public backlash.
“The idea is to discuss with the authorities their economic program and the next steps in the IMF‘s engagement with the country,” Murray said, adding that the IMF remains committed to supporting Egypt at this critical time in its history.
However, Murray declined to say whether the IMF official would be on a “negotiating” or “courtesy” visit.
“There’s an ongoing discussion with the authorities and I don’t want to characterize what form it takes,” Murray said. “We’ve had ongoing contacts with the Egyptian authorities and we’ve remained fully engaged with them.”
The IMF loan has been delayed, mostly because of political turmoil, which forced Egypt to change its economic forecast figures to more conservative estimates. Government officials were hoping the budget deficit would shrink from its current level of almost 11 percent to 8.5 percent in the next fiscal year, but now Cairo is suggesting it could be 9.5 percent.
Earlier this week, Egypt rejected a $750 million rescue loan from the IMF, deciding that it did not want to resort to taking emergency measures at this time. The stopgap loan, part of the IMF‘s Rapid Financing Instrument, would not have been a substitute for Egypt‘s multibillion dollar loan request.
Egypt had long been viewed as a stable corner of the Middle East. Reserves stood at around $36 billion just before …read more

IMF set to cut growth forecasts if U.S. spending is cut
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The International Monetary Fund said Thursday it will likely cut its growth forecasts for the United States and the global economy if automatic U.S. spending cuts take effect on Friday, and warned that the U.S.'s biggest trading partners would be hardest hit. IMF spokesman William Murray said that if the cuts are fully implemented, the IMF would likely shave at least 0.5 percentage point off its current forecast of 2 percent growth for the U.S. in 2013. …
