SBC has a deal for access to their freedomlink service, 1.99$ a month, and that is access to all wayport and other access locations, many of which are on the boingo network.
I think you just get the freedomlink locations for the $1.99. They have a separate plan for $21.99 a month that includes partners. I'm at a Barnes and Noble in Seattle right now using the $1.99 plan.
Right. The $1.99 per month only gets you the Freedomlink locations and no other Wayport locations, with one exception: McDonalds

I guess they throw in Wayport McDonalds into the $1.99 plan because they normally only charge $2.99 for 2 hours there.

So basically for your $1.99 per month you get Freedomlink access at:

- Barnes & Nobels (Freedomlink)
- UPS Stores (Freedomlink)
- Mail Boxes Etc (Freedomlink)
- McDonalds (Wayport)

But no roaming at any other Wayport locations (like in hotels and airports), and hence no Boingo.

But I still feel the $1.99 per month plan is a great deal and pretty fair coverage for the money, and there's usually one or more of the above in most locations.
