In 3 years time, paying for Wi-Fi access will seem as foolish and outdated a tech relic as pets.com.
If I can get free wireless access at my local (non-Starbucks) coffeehouse along with finding out that the entire block where my office is located has just become a free wireless zone, why on earth would I pay $30/month so I can check e-mail at the AC. I can use the club computers to do that. And, if AA ever caved into pressure from T-mobile to remove the computers, then I'll dial up.
