I haven’t been doing much commercial flying lately.  In fact, I’m
sitting here at the Salt Lake City Airport thinking that this is the
first time that I have flown in over six months!  When I was
leaving the house I had to do the standard “security review” to think
about all of the things that I might have thrown into my computer bag,
or my suitcase, while I haven’t been flying … all of the things like
a small screwdriver, my fingernail clippers, and a pair of tweezers.

Getting to the airport it wasn’t too bad … a good time of night to
fly out.  Of course I was bummed to see that only airlines like
JetBlue understand the value of free wireless.  I got a signal
from the Sprint wireless network, in partnership with the Salt Lake
City Airport, and they only wanted $9.95 for 24 hours!  Yeah …
right … can I PLEASE pay that much for Internet Access?  What
century are these guys living in?  It’s a form of extortion in my
opinion.  If you are going to charge, then make it a reasonable
price!  I would pay $10 per month … that’s what we charge on our wireless network at 80211.net.

Oh well … I’ll have bandwidth when I arrive …
