Free Airport Wi-Fi for the iPhone… from Boingo Wireless?!?
Boingo Wireless yesterday announced that it's giving iPhone users free Wi-Fi throughout the month of August in 13 U.S. airports. The offer is obviously intended to get iPhone types hooked on Boingo – after which they'll have to pay.
The irony, of course, lies in the fact that AT&T, which is supplying the mobile connectivity for the iPhone, didn't think to do this on their own frickin' network…
"iPhone users are searching for Wi-Fi options that will keep the device's coolest features and content functioning at lightning speeds when on-the-go," says Boingo's Dawn Callahan. "With our extensive hot spot coverage, choosing Boingo is a no-brainer for iPhone users who are looking for public access options beyond EDGE. This free promotion is a great opportunity for iPhone users to see for themselves."
The list of airports is as follows:
AZO – Kalamazoo/Battle Creek International Airport
BNA – Nashville International Airport
BWI – Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport
DTW – Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport
EWR – Newark Liberty International Airport
JFK – John F. Kennedy International Airport
