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.

| not from what I see
My 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. |

Madera, CA | I get Free WiFi with AT&T
Since I have an account with AT&T HSI, I get free access to their WiFi service when I'm at least 150 foot of their locations, such as Mccrapdonalds or Starsucks or wherever they have it at. |

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. |

At any rate, I'll find myself getting a damn Skype phone or something soon at the rate hotspots are popping up. |

An INTENTIONALLY unsecured, personal AP is IDENTICAL to a free hotspot. |

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!
