Boingo Drops 15 US Airports
After noticing that Boingo had disappeared from several airports that I frequent I looked to see what happened. I found this article tonight. I'll be calling them very soon to cancel my account.
I was in ATL yesterday and contrary to the correction below, when I tried to log in I saw no where and no way for me to do so. If the Boingo rep would like to comment I'm all ears.
Has anyone else noticed this? What are your experiences?

Not good news for travelers who have Boingo accounts. Boingo has just dropped 15 US airports from its network of Wi-Fi hotspots. These airports are Atlanta-Hartsfield (ATL), Baltimore-Washington (BWI), Boston-Logan (BOS), Buffalo (BUF), Burbank (BUR), Indianapolis (IND), Los Angeles (LAX), Miami International (MIA), Minneapolis (MSP), Oakland (OAK), Omaha (OMA), Providence (PVD), San Diego (SAN), San Francisco (SFO), Sacramento (SMF).

CORRECTION (6 September 2012): Boingo users can still use the free Wi-Fi networks at these 15 airports. Boingo terminated its roaming agreement with AWG. This agreement was for premium access to the AWG networks. Based on Boingo’s tests and customer feedback, there was no difference between the free and paid Wi-Fi service at these locations and in some cases, the free networks that Boingo was paying a premium for enhanced access for their customers were wholly unusable in key parts of the day. It makes no sense for Boingo to pay premium access fees for a service that is freely available.
