That gives Verizon at least SOME competitive edge against the Cable guys...
They needed something.

Re: Cool

It definitely gives Verizon a competitive advantage. Once they put those things up there's basically no monthly cost. So if it reduces churn on their DSL, that's a good reason to keep it free.

Round Rock, TX		 If Dial-up users can get Wi-Fi access free from Verizon, those that are living close to Wi-Fi hot spots will have rather cheap DSL level access (up to 3Mbps) rather cheap

Like most airport and other hotspots, they probably have time limits.
