Mathew's comments: Toronto jumps on the muni Wi-Fi train

vinnie mirchandani · 3 years ago

you wonder why cities are taking the leap, but many airports are not. It is irrittating to pay T-Mobile 29 a month and then travel to various airports which do not support roaming on T-Mobile or they charge a premium of another $ 7 to 10 for the day when i only have 30 minutes at the airport. Florida, where I live, is one of the more progressive states - Tampa, orlando, Ft Luaderdale airports are free...but in tech savvy CA or MA many airports not true...

I would gladly pay $ 1 an hour ...at an airport or downtown...

I agree, Vinnie. I think too many providers are still trying to gouge people as much as they can instead of seeing it as a longer-term opportunity -- or even just as a public service, to build customer loyalty.
