Sorry, Travelers - Chromecast Won't Be Supporting Public Wi-Fi Networks Any Time Soon

You'll run into a slew of problems. The major one is that most hotels, even if you get on the wifi, disable peer to peer communication, so you won't be able to control it. Second, Chromecast doesn't support captive networks right now. There may be some work around for this one, but given that you probably won't be able to get past the first item, it's not work going into here. - John Affaki, Engineering Manager for the dev experience on Chromecast
