[Mike Cohen] "...inside office buildings and hotels, or do the $49 variety you would take camping suffice (I suspect not)."
I actually think they might, Mike. We don't have need for two-ways much, but when we do that's exactly what we use...
...cheapo two-ways, bought several pairs of them for next to nothing on eBay...

Actually, they work like a charm. We've used them indoors for intercoms when doing a couple of live events (we got headsets for them as well). In your hotel/office situation I'm not sure they would go through tons of steel and concrete if you were on different floors or vastly different parts of the building, but if everyone is in
relatively the same region, I know the ones we have would work fine.
Now... I'm not exactly sure of the
legalities of using these for commercial use is... but frankly I've never let it bother me.
