Mike, Mosh

I am absolutely sure that I have been guilty too. And it’s not the wifi posts aimed at informing people that I have an issue with.

It’s mostly the vacuous “whoo hoo - free Wifi” post.

In general though - like the “I’m in a taxi AND I’m on the phone” of the eighties, we’ve gone beyond that. Surely we move on. When do we stop being on the phone.

Mike, highlighting organisations that make you pay is a completely different thing. Those dicks deserve all the bad posts they get.

I should note that wifi is available at JFK and many other airports- I am specifically trying to criticize the lack of free wifi in public spaces at major airports. Paying $8 for access at Newark for example is ridiculous.

No way. I refuse to sign this one! :)

I am a guilty, repeat offender- not because I want to show off that I’m in exotic, tropical, elite locales like Pittsburgh and Kansas City but because I am trying to highlight that major U.S. airports like JFK don’t have wifi and smaller airports do. It’s part of a general theme of me trying to highlight the lack of wifi in many U.S. airports where there is free internet access at many other airports around the world. I realize wifi isn’t a right but I think it’s shameful that free wifi is not available at all major airports.

One of many mentions of wi-fi availability on my blog. I do try to make them relevant and useful though!
