I recently carried a laptop with me on vacation, figuring it would be easy to use a WiFi node somewhere. I was really surprised by how much T-Mobile charged in Barnes & Noble. I think that these sort of pricing schemes are going to make people lose interest in hot spots. They're pricing WiFi service like we used to pay for dial-up internet in the old days! It can't possibly last like that.
Later I found a bar down the street that had free WiFi and that proved to be a better bet. Besides, beer beats coffee on vacation!
