I first stumbled upon network hotels and leaky cables topics somehow when I was reading about Kuala Lumpur, and subsequently Malaysia's MRT network there.
It's one thing that you can plan and build that network because it's new. It's another thing to retrofit it into existing infrastructure as the Underground.
A guy that did a wireless survey for my company told me about leaky cables, because they used it in large warehouses for their largest client.
It's an ingenious solution.
