Didn't you just expect this to be on the 2006 WiFi horizon?

Massport is trying to glom onto WiFi at Logan. They charge for their hook-ups. Many folks have encountered this in airports across the country. I usually pay so I can surf and not be bored. The wrinkle to this story is that Massport is telling any other WiFi (which you will recall is an UNLICENSED spectrum...) providers to butt out. So Starbucks or whoever can't have a network set up in the airport. Who cares you say--well imagine that your condo association decides to set up a mesh net or other WiFi network. Then they say they are going to charge for it. Then they tell you and the rest of the resident/tenants that you can't have your own WiFi. See why it is a big deal? wifimuni
