Set it Free

I’ve seen this story presented before. Basically, Boston’s Logan Airport has pay-for wifi access, which they gouge $7.95/day out of you. I know the size and importance of Portland Intl Airport is not that of Logan, but PDX has free wifi service throughout the airport.
Living in the northwest I know that there would be revolts against PDX if they *shudder* charged for wifi access. I can’t imagine paying $8 to browse the internet for the hour or two that I sit in the airport and wait on a flight. That’s just extreme. If I traveled for work more than 2-3 times a year I would seriously get into Continental’s Presidents Club for their free wifi. Dallas - Ft. Worth only has pay-for wifi access, Denver only has pay-for wifi, and O’Hare is just now getting setup with it. It’s not often that I feel like there is a reason to brag about PDX, but this is definitely a major bragging point for me.
