Free Wireless? Ha!
T-Mobile's wireless HotSpots will soon know no boundaries at LAX and LA/Ontario International Airports. While the airplanes are still no Internet zones, the T-Mobile HotSpots will span the entire 3.8 million square feet of LAX.
Officials with Los Angeles World Airports and T-Mobile will officially launch the new coverage Wednesday at an LAX press conference where the same officials will conveniently test the service on new T-Mobile products. What do you expect? It's Los Angeles, home to product placements.
But if you're looking for free Internet, you'll still have to wander the terminals with your laptop ajar looking for an unsecured signal to tap into. Good luck. T-Mobile's service usually costs $9.99 for a day pass or up to $39.99 a month. On the bright side, at least you won't feel obligated to buy a $4 Starbucks frappuccino to get your Internet flowing at the airport anymore.
See which other airports have the service available here. At LAX, its been available in terminals 1-8 and a few other spots. In Ontario, it's currently available in terminals 2 and 4 and the rental car center.
