What does Free Wi-Fi really mean?
The availability of Free Wi-Fi locations continues to spread. Below is the review of what Free might mean in different types of locations...
The locations listed in the Wi-Fi FreeSpot Directory all offer some type of Free Wi-Fi access to the public, but sometimes there may be access requirements/restrictions that are unique to a particular type of location, and therefore the access, although free may not be available to everyone/anyone.
