Silver Spring, Maryland May 2005. Sunburst Hospitality Corporation owner-operator of hotels and golf courses across the country has signed a purchase and services agreement with TelNet Corporation for the addition of High Speed Internet Solutions within its hotel portfolio.  Sunburst Hospitality is a franchisee for Choice Hotels International, InterContinental Hotel Group, and Best Western International throughout the United States.  Installation is well underway and will be completed by June 2005. 
"The decision to use TelNet was simple," said Sunburst Vice President of Information Technologies, Mark Elbaum.  TelNet has been a dependable communications partner for years committed to providing Sunburst quality nationwide service. We feel that using TelNet proved to be the most cost effective solution because they offer a single source solution to handle a variety of telecommunication components.  We wanted to stay away from having too many vendors involved in what could be handled by one."
According to Julie Thompson, Vice President of Marketing and Sales, "We wanted to offer our guests both wireless and wired applications in all guestrooms, hotel lobbies, conference facilities, and dining area’s of our hotels.  The installation will exceed the brand standards for each of our franchised properties.  This service will also exceed guest expectations and, most importantly, it is complimentary to Sunburst Hospitality Corporation guests."
