[quote=sdcellar]Eh? Starbucks wi-fi used to cost, then it was free for AT&T customers, then it was free for everybody and now they’re actually spending money to attract people to use it. Hotels have always been hit or miss.

Don’t get me wrong, I still have my cell phone, but free wi-fi is hardly going the way of the dodo. At least, not yet.[/quote]

Then you’re a lot luckier than I am. As recently as a year ago (before I broke down and got a cellular modem), I was able to find free wi-fi about 10% of the time when looking for it, which was far less than a few years before that.

Anyway that’s good news, although I’d rather not be tied to one particular chain restaurant for my Internet needs 🙂
