Boston Anti-Socialist?
January 2nd, 2006 by Quan Tranh
In a surprise move Boston Logan Airport has ordered airlines to pull the plug on WiFi services offered in the airport. Now if you want WiFi you will have to purchase an $8/day plan from the airport. Massport is afraid of congestion interfering with TSA, State Police, and other WiFi networks. The cheapest solution would be to move all official government functions off to 802.11a since very few people and businesses run 802.11a in the US. The other solution would be to move essential functions over to a frequency band that is regulated. Just another revenue raising tactic in Tax-a-chusits. So much for that New England kindness, but I guess if you’re in an airport you’re filthy rich so you should have to pay to get WiFi.
