PIT is free around the foodcourt airside.

And PDANet through a Treo600 is great but only nets about 70-80kbps.

and since i'm connected at 31.2 over dial up at this Hyatt, I'd take twice the speed Alex for 200

The UA RCC's provide t-mobile in DEN. Works within a few gates of the clubs if you AT&T doesn't work.

My company provides t-mobile logins to us, seems to be the most reliable of the services.

Yeah, I had time to go to the RCC on the way back and the T-Mobile worked like a charm. I'm curious if At&T wireless subscribers get a discount, as that's my cell phone provider.

Sit outside the CO Pres' Club in T6 at LAX for a free signal

There are some roaming networks like ipass that charge by usage rather than per day.

Check out this string from the Travel Technology Forum

Global Roaming ISPs

Most of CO President's Clubs have been wired for WiFi. If you sit nearby you should be able to pick up a free signal. Not sure how many other airlines' clubs have free wifi, but if they do, should work for all of them.

EWR President's Club had it for free. The airport in general charged a fee.

TRI (Johnson City/Bristol/Kingsport, TN) offers free WiFi

RIC is free...as is SDF and PNS.

ROA is free; GSO has TMobile for the airport as a whole. Seems like MSP had it for free, but it's been a couple years since I was there.

JAX has something, but I could never get it to work properly. Can't recall any other airports I travel much other than to say ATL and ORD don't seem to have wireless (free or otherwise) on an airport-wide basis.

Oddly enough, BaTelCo provides free wireless in MHH and NAS in the Bahamas, although the NAS one was very flaky while I was there (six to eight LONG hours in their sorry excuse for an international departures terminal)

Now if only the MWAA would put (free) wireless into IAD and DCA, I'd be reasonably happy.

The new terminal at MDT (Harrisburg, PA) has free Wifi and a free lounge for elite members of any airline serving MDT.

I never managed to get it working with Windows (as it just refuses s=2) but it works quite well with Linux.

Not fast, but free.
This is a great tip. Unfortunately, my google search reveals that Nextel seems to have closed this loophole, but I'll give it a try anyway.

ROC has free access at the business center (landside) by the food court. Didn't try to see if they extend the signal into the gate areas last time I was there, though.
