This edition of Transit Authority is the last installment in the airport-by-airport Internet access guide announced in the June 14, 2004, Airports of Call edition. That column offered handy information on airports with Wi-Fi access, Wi-Fi providers and rates, and wired high-speed access in airports.
The first edition covered Hartsfield Atlanta, Boston Logan, Chicago O'Hare, and Chicago Midway airports. The second installment covered Dallas/Forth Worth, Dallas Love Field, Detroit Metro, Houston Intercontinental and Houston Hobby airports. And the third column focused on Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and Miami.
Here is a useful guide finding internet connections for airports in New York City, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington, DC.
