Last month, I visited France and the UK. There are times when I wanted to get online. Wi-Fi networks were marked as free. Here’s what greeted you when you chose free wifi. Or this one. Sure, that’s a quick one to fill out. Put in some fake info, they don’t confirm it, and you’re online. […]

Yesterday, I ranted about hoops I had to jump through in the Dallas airport to get WiFi. In my home airport, SFO (San Francisco), you have to “watch” a video ad to get free WiFi for 45 minutes. I say “watch” in air quotes because I run the ad and look away from my device. […]

Airport WiFi. Why does it have to suck so much? Why do I have to agree to so many things and watch a video before I can get it? This one was special. This was the Dallas airport, also knows as DFW. I was actually connected (which you’ll see as tiny orange text in the […]

I typically have my Sprint Overdrive (personal WiFi hotspot) on me, and I use it at SFO. San Francisco International Airport claims to offer free WiFi, so why use my MyFi? Normally, once you log into “free” WiFi, you are asked to agree to terms of service, and then you move right along. Here is […]
