When you guys are out and about with your laptops, do you pay for
wi-fi?

How does that work?

I'm sort of new to public wi-fi, and don't really have a good feel as to
where the free hot spots are vs. where you have to pay to log on.
Therefore, I took a different approach and subscribed to Verizon's wireless
Broadband Access service. It's a bit expensive, but it's got good speed and
you don't have to worry about whether you're in range of a hot spot and what
the costs might be. I'll use traditional wi-fi when I can see that I'm in a
free hot spot, but the Verizon deal is a great fallback. Plus, it allows me
internet and email access at the lake.
