| not from what I see
My own experience is that people are starting to secure their APs so they are no longer open and that most airport, etc. (with the possible exception of hotels), Wi-Fi is becoming daily fee. I bought a pocket hotspot wiFi finder but became tired of that and hunting for an open AP all the time, and finally just gave up and got an EV-DO plan despite the limitations. I use it for business though. |

After getting fed up of people saying im carrying a penis pump with me, I got EVDO and couldn't be happier (except for caps). |

An unsecured, personal AP and a free hotspot are NOT the same thing. |

Brooklyn NYC | An INTENTIONALLY unsecured, personal AP is IDENTICAL to a free hotspot. |

weird..I'm seeing the opposite trend.
We do lots of hotel deals and every single one of them offers free wifi. And maybe i've just been lucky but the last 5 hotels I stayed at had free wifi..even the one in Mexico!
