Skype Journal: Airport Wireless: Big Pain; Big Cost
May 11, 2005 10:34 AMHere I am sitting at the SeaTac Airport. Cingular won't let Canadians buy time on their Wireless offering. Brilliant strategy. WayPort let me buy a Day Pass for $6.95 US. So I am sitting getting some work done then decide to go through security. (Why people put up with that BS I really don't know. :) )
Anyway, the big surprise: WayPort Wireless can't be reached at my gate!!! So in order to post my blog on Connectotel White Paper I had to get a T-mobile hourly account for about $10. Who says there is no money in blogging? There is just no money for bloggers. :)
In Estonia just about every gas station has a free hot spot. Maybe one day Exxon and the Airlines will wake up in America. We need better access.
Next stop, New York....

Wi-Fi Day Pass for 7 US$. Hah!
Word of warning: Don't ever go to Athens' (Greece) International Airport ("Eleftherios Venizelos"). The Germans who have the administration of the airport there are, simply put, thieves.
1 Euro to use a freaking suitcase-trailer.
Something around the amount of 8 Euros, for thirty measly minutes of Wi-Fi access.
The most expensive airport taxes, to make sure that we are ripped off whenever we travel.
And a contract with the greek government that disallows any other airport to operate, in a radius of 200km around it.
Idiots :-(.
