I don't know how many of you travel but I am wondering if any of you know the story behind free Wifi at airports?
More specifically, why is it that Seattle, Pittsburgh, Phoenix, Tucson, San Francisco, Denver, San Antonio, Boston, Chicago, Detroit, Washington and other major cities offer free Wifi at their airports but two of the major airports, Los Angeles (LAX) and Dallas (DFW) don't? Is it a city/county decision?
In fact, even airports in foreign countries offer free Wifi. (Hong Kong, Tel Aviv, Athens, Oslo, Auckland, Sao Paulo, Manila, Karachi, Vancouver, Cancun, Santiago, Beijing, Sarajevo, Moscow, Istanbul, Tehran, Taiwan, Dubai, Warsaw and Vienna). Seriously, it's a must-have these days! How can these cities offer free Wifi but the U.S. can't even take care of two of its largest airports?
I find it very, very annoying when I'm on the road and I have layovers in LAX and DFW and have to pay $9.99 for T-Mobile's Internet access. People are traveling more and more and they need to be connected constantly. These are just two airports that I have in mind, but why don't all airports offer this service?
Is there something that I can do (i.e. write a letter, petition) to get these airports to join the modern world?
