Re: [Info] Wifi at Newarks Airport
I've been in various terminals throughout the NY area and some areas have it for free while others charge. Same elsewhere throughout the US.
It costs money so someone needs to pay for it. If you're traveling on business, the fee is insignificant. If you travel a lot I'm guessing you're a club member of some airline. I know if you go to the President's Club for Continental in Newark it's free access.

| I thought Newark was in New Jersey .
Aren't we already paying more than enough for things like that? I mean, it's kind of like if we get charge for using the bathrooms. I bet you that keeping clean every single bathroom of an Airport is more expensive than a free wifispot. |

| The New York area airports are all run by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. I know that the last time I flew Jet Blue and Delta out of JFK, there was free wifi- but there wasn't general free wifi there.

| Maybe it was Jet Blue that had free wifi. I can't recall.
Also, for someone traveling a lot I'd suggest non-wifi based solution. I have Verizon cell service with a Blackberry with what they call tethering. That allows me to connect my notebook to my phone and use it as a wireless modem. Verizon charges $15/mo for the service.

I'm not too young, I remember several times my cheap father making my brother and I crawl under the door to use the bathroom, and it was ONLY a dime!!!!
I believe NYS made it illegal to charge to use a restroom in the state many years ago..

That's gross. I don't like walking into a public restroom let alone getting anywhere near the floor! |
