Re:Paris WIFI
The public free wifi in Paris seems to be quite sporadic. I'm 1-1/2 blocks from the Pompidou parvis which is supposed to have free wifi, and I've never really been able to even see that connection. The multiplying Starbucks all seem to have free wifi and I think it works the same way as in the States, where it comes with a purchase or for a small fee. There are still quite a few internet cafes. Which neighborhoods are you using?
