| Massachusetts Port Authority has shut down most hot spots in Logan International Airp
"But when DePalma, president of a market research firm, returns home to Boston he will find a different scene. The Massachusetts Port Authority has shut down most hot spots in Logan International Airport. American Airlines, which provides Wi-Fi access to subscribers of a nationwide service run by T-Mobile in all of its Admirals Clubs, has been told it can't in Logan. Continental is engaged in a similar fight.
Instead, the airport has granted a monopoly to one provider that charges $7.95 a day, part of which comes back to the airport." http://www.usatoday.com/news/opinion...our-view_x.htm |

At least from Logan International Airport.
Of course there were many reasons (IMO) before this. I think it is one of the worst managed airports in the country from a traveler's perspective. | |

Thats not fair, geez 8 bucks for 1-3 hours before a flight, what a rip off. I dont know if that is legal to do but i feel it is totally unfair to the people.

The Subways in Boston only have one cell phone carrier, because of a deal between the T (subway) and the carrier | |

Great state to live in! 
Yah, I noticed they stopped running the 'Massport has free wireless access at Logan' not too long ago.

It like everything else in an airport they know you’re stuck there so you pay. | |
