FreeSpots are Free Every Day

Intel's big Unwired Free Wi-Fi for a day promotion is over and all the people who tried Wi-Fi for the day will now be asked to pay for the service at those locations. Their TV ads imply that paying for Wi-Fi is the norm. We all know that's not true but we don't have the money to buy TV ads to tell the world about free Wi-Fi locations where it's free Every Day! It's up to all of us to spread the word any way we can.

Every Day is Free Wi-Fi Day!

Mike Oh has a great post on the Newburyopen.net forum about Intel's upcoming Free Wi-Fi for a Day promotion on Sept. 25. He suggests banding together to get the word out about doing a Free Wi-Fi Week.

You'll see my reply suggesting a sign in the window of Free Wi-Fi locations that says " Every Day is Free Wi-Fi Day Here!". Maybe we get get someone to make the signs and mail them out to all the locations I have listed in my FreeSpot Directory.

Free Wi-Fi here to stay

Glenn Fleishman's Wi-Fi Networking News weblog has a mention today about a site detailing where free Wi-Fi can be found in Berkeley, California. The site's creator, Sean of cheeesebikini.com posts a follow-up comment about his other site that details free Wi-Fi in San Francisco where he states that after monitoring the 40 locations in San Francisco over the past year or so he has seen very few shut off the free access. He suggests this probably means that offering free wi-fi must be profitable.
