It is possible/likely that this refers to what Mariott was specifically doing, which is attacking cellular modem/AP combo devices that were not connected to Marott's network in any way, just physically located in/near their hotels.

University Wi-Fi blocking is usually targeted at APs that students have attached to University network drops without permission, which is a completely different thing.

However, the FCC did not appear to draw a distinction, which is interesting.
