Re: No O'Hare said by BK:I bet the airports already have contracts with some provider that would not be too pleased if Google came and started taking their business. come to think of it I think a couple of these airports that I've been to had free wifi anyways.. meh Yup, T-Mobile or ATT (forgot who) would probably be pretty upset if Google came in and started offering free wifi.
Mind you the customers would be happy but we can't have that. Especially at airports.

| According to Boingo website all these airports ATL, ORD, EWR, and LAX have wifi access through Boingo.
I know for a fact that you can either use ATT or Boingo at the Indianapolis airport. If you have Boingo installed it will hide the ATT SSID from being shown to trick you into using Boingo. I used to have free Wifi with my ATT DSL and have used it in the Indy Airport. But anyways Indy is having the free Boingo Wifi even though ATT is there.

1 edit | ATT and Tmobile basically set it up so they can accept Boingo logins, but the Boingo software will hide the native ATT or Tmobile SSID and only let you see the Boingo SSID.
If you are an ATT dsl customer and also use boingo, when running the Boingo software you only see the Boingo SSID and could be tricked into paying when if you knew it had an ATT SSID you could connect for free.

Jacksonville, FL | O'Hare doesn't get it for one very important reason....a free service does not have anything to kickback or skim to Hizzoner Daley or his cronies.
"Whad...free? Ya mean I don't get nothin'? Forgettaboutit!"
To the Chicago Aviation Department, airport WiFi is like a parking meter, merely a revenue source. |

kudos:2 | So says the Florida redneck. 
In reality, AT&T and T-mo have contracts at O'Hare, and if you know what you are doing you can get free access from both. |
