Finally, are any of you using Wi-Fi access in large public spaces (shopping centers, marinas, parks, etc.)? If so, how is the service?
    

I find T-Mobile's plans to be unappealing. I use free access quite a bit when
I'm not at home.

I can park my car anywhere in downtown Santa Cruz where I live and have free
access. This isn't intentional, but a result of so many cafe's with powerful
access points.

On longer trips, I'm finding that most cheap hotel rooms now include free wifi,
and many roadside rest stops now have free wifi. Many airports now have free
wifi.

My ISP is offering wifi to the local cafe's at a very low rate. Most of them
use that. It's so popular that most of them also restrict seating of patrons
with computers to before 6 PM.

Hope this helps,
Neil
