Comprehensive Airport Wi-Fi Guide
An anonymous reader writes, "Travelpost has a
new guide to Wi-Fi in 141 U.S. airports. The chart includes pricing information and multiple service provider info for many of the airports — something you rarely see. A good, comprehensive resource for travelers who are constantly online."
Increasingly, after visiting one of these sites earlier in the day (OK, not really Digg), I come back here to read the same thing.
Am I bitter? No, just remembering a time when I could come here and read about things I couldn't find anywhere else on the net.
As of last week, PHX's free WiFi connectivity works very well for general surfing, but they block VPN connections. That makes it more or less useless for many business travellers. I've been meaning to track down the people responsible and ask them why in the world they'd do that.

Is the guide for those who wish to leech onto the free wi-fi provided by many of the frequent flyer lounges - for their customers, that is. Eg, "Gate A12 in Terminal X at ******** Airport is exactly below the American Airlines lounge......good signal, lotsa geeks hanging out, may have to share a wall plug for juice, etc".........:)
Kinda the hitchhiker's guide to the wi-fi galaxy.......sorry, someone had to say it..>:)
You may be right. However, I think they're listing only the ones that are officially offered by the airports, rather than by vendors within the airport.
Having said that, it might be handy to compile a list similar to what you've described.
