airports as natural place for WiFi

Delta gives a little R &38; R:

“Bizarre missing feature: Any sort of networking, so I’m blogging and uploading via my cell phone, through T-Mobile’s GPRS service.”

Frank’s not the first to note this (even this weekend). Wendy Seltzer had much the same comment about Hartsfield in a post yesterday.

Transit stations — bus, plane, rail, or ferry — seem like obvious places to install WiFi access points, especially when the authorities expect people to queue up hours before departure time. Why not make the wait as productive, or at least less painful, as possible?
