Free wifi coming to DCA & IAD
Not tomorrow exactly, but sometime "this spring", according to numerous stories such as http://washingtonexaminer.com/local/...ional-airports

Thank goodness! I am always in and out of DCA or IAD, and rely on my Blackberry for internet. That's one thing I love on the return trips from PIT, however. I'm always at the airports early, so wifi will be nice. Thank you MWAA :-P

I've heard (no confirmation yet) that the Red Carpet Clubs expect to be able to provide much better (faster?) wifi to compete with free airport wifi. Club membership might still be valuable.

Or my condo, exactly .45 miles from the end of the shorter runway - but that's from a runway...not the terminal. 
Still, it will be nice to have this for sure at the airport...especially at long connections at IAD!

Wireless live at IAD
Posted this in the UAL forum because I thought it would be of most interest to UAL people since A/C/D terminals are UA, but evidently I made the wrong posting choice. 
Anywho, free WIFI went live at IAD on 4/15. I was at the airport this morning and found the signal pretty good throughout. Use the AT&T network.

Good reporting
Thanks, Annandaler, for yet another scoop about MWAA. You've run up an impressive track record [tips cap]
