Re: Playing poker on public free wifi networks
Places that charge daily are getting worse and worse.
There are plenty of Starbucks-type places charging $6-$10 a day.
this is also true in MANY airports now....which is really kind of a pain. Because sometimes you get delayed but you never really get told whether it will be 5 hours...or whether you will be able to get on a different flight in 40 minutes.
Also - I stayed at 2 different hotels in Vegas (gold Coast and then Treasure Island) and both places charged $10/day for hi-speed internet in the rooms.
It's stuff like this why I feel the $60 or $80 a month for something like the Verizon wireless card can be worthwhile.
If one travels enough and runs into these situations very frequently it pays for itself.
I can go to Starbucks or wherever and get on the internet with my own card and I don't have to use their $10/day WiFi signal.
However, if you don't have this and are just looking for free hotspots then jiwire.com should hopefully have a couple in your area. (and, again, there are possibly some more that aren't even listed on jiwire)
