Hoteliers are increasingly interested in implementing in-room technology
capabilities that provide new in-room services to guests, and which can also
generate operating efficiencies for their properties. These capabilities
include interactive applications for in-room dining, spa booking, golf
reservations, rewards programs and even automated in-room temperature and
electricity controls. LodgeNet has been a leader in designing and
implementing these applications through their interactive systems, and with
today's announcement, is extending access to a wide variety of new services
through portable devices.

At HITEC, LodgeNet and Wiotel, with support from Intel, are demonstrating the
first project supported by their new initiative, the iCon(TM) Internet
Concierge. This innovative new MID solution is based on the Intel Atom
processor and the software experience has been designed by Wiotel specifically
for the hospitality industry. The iCon can be integrated with a property's
entertainment, guest access and property management systems, and allows the
guest to order virtually any product or service available through the
properties' networks during their stay. The iCon is designed to function as a
mobile concierge and can be used as a bedside communication device for guests
or as a mobile control for use by property staff.

The companies are currently piloting the new solution at the Westin St.
Francis, and anticipate rolling out additional pilots over the next two
quarters. "The Westin St. Francis has a history of being first. Our guests
expect the latest guest services innovation. LodgeNet and Wiotel offer us a
logical way to leverage our IT investment to improve guest communications,
create operational efficiencies, and add incremental revenue through enhanced
guest service," said Mr. Jon Kimball, general manager of the Westin St.
Francis.

"LodgeNet is a leader in providing new interactive solutions to the industry.
We are very pleased to have our Professional Solutions group work with Intel
and Wiotel to integrate unique new technology solutions on Intel-based MIDs
and access hospitality services through our platforms," said Scott E. Young,
President of Hospitality for LodgeNet. "We believe that the iCon(TM) Internet
Concierge project will generate significant interest in our customer base, and
are looking forward to working with Intel and Wiotel on next generation
solutions in the future."

"Mobile Internet Devices make it possible for people to access the Internet
and travel-related content and services wherever you are," said Brad Graff,
director of new business initiatives in Intel's Ultra Mobility Group. "We
welcome LodgeNet's interest in this category of devices and look forward to
supporting them in their efforts to deploy Intel Atom processor-based MIDs in
the hospitality market segment."

"We are eager to collaborate with an innovator in the hospitality industry
such as LodgeNet. We see endless opportunities through the combination of
Intel-based MIDs and our software platform. The new iCon Mobile Concierge
Device will help enable a variety of new and exciting services," said Sameh
Michaiel, president and CEO of Wiotel.

LodgeNet is exhibiting in Booth 310 of the Anaheim (CA) Convention Center,
June 23-25, and will be presenting a demonstration of the new iCon(TM) device
at that location. For more information about LodgeNet's HITEC 2009 appearance
