“free” as in Free WiFi at Denver Airport ain’t exactly free

It is “no cost to you as long as you first watch this ad…and log in every 30 minutes…and watch the ad again every time…and give up the top 1/5th or so of your screen to an ad rotator that you cannot close…”

Just thought you should know.

Oh, and, it is all well and good to give up your seat for a traveler in obvious and lachrymose distress, but, when the airline says “we’ll get you on the next available flight” – word of advice? Check the fine print. In my case, I feel good the crying lady got my seat, but bad that I am wandering the terminal for 8 hours, instead of building community at TechEd 2010.

Lesson learned.
