How Much Should Hotel Web Access Cost? - Sometimes it's free. Sometimes it's $20 a day. Why? By Steven E. Landsburg

I thought about this while I was traveling recently. Greenville, SC has free WiFi in the airport; Memphis, TN and Los Angeles don't. My hotel also didn't but did have a T-mobile pay as you go plan for $6/hr which worked out the best for me. Finding the right balance is the key. Of course, I think it should be "free" just like water and electricity.
