PHL wireless access (Melissa"s problem this morning)

Here's an explanation why our colleague Melissa Dribben couldn't get wireless Internet service this morning in PHL's B Terminal. This is from the phl.org Web site, under FAQ:

"The Airport offers wireless Internet access from more than 40 access points in the secure areas of every terminal. A fee is required for wireless access. There are several purchase options available to customers, including a 24-hour connection for $7.95 or a monthly unlimited option for $39.95."

There are airports in this country and abroad with free wi-fi access. We are searching for a comprehensive list -- otherwise travelers know only if an airport is advertising or promoting the service. Those that don't probably do as PHL does, making you hunt for the information on their public sites. If any of you knows where to find a complete list online, please send it to us. We will find the information eventually but it may take until after this nutso week and weekend. Thanks in advance for your contributions.
