DUH!Just like here, I can go to Starschmucks and pay for WiFi, or go to the "Mom and Pop" coffee shop(better coffee anyways) and get WiFi for free. Hmmm... See what you got. » www.wififreespot.com/Know of one not listed, tell them! I did! | |

Re: DUH!Starbucks is basically free. Just register a Starbucks card online and buy one cup of Joe a month with it. | |

not from what I seeMy 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. | |

I use it for business though. Yep, I started out on wifi, but lack of usable signal where I go made me start carrying around a yagi on a 30 foot USB cord (USB has zero signal loss ). 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. | |

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! | |

Re: Verizonsaid by Madtown:Doesn't Verizon offer free WiFi to their subscribers??? They used to.. they canned most of that in Manhattan a while ago.. now their rival Cablevision is expanding a wifi deployment. Unfortunately it's a conflict of interest to give away for free what they hope to sell in wireless broadband LTE access at a premium rate. | |
