Wi should we pay?

IT really annoys me that certain airports, hotels and restaurants feel justified in charging customers for wi-fi. So I am launching a campaign to make it free everywhere. To start, I am publishing a list of everywhere I visit where it is rightly free. Tell me if you hear of places that are doing the right thing. If you're a company charging, I will be naming and shaming you soon and that includes you +Heathrow Airport .

FREE WI-FI
Dublin Airport
Peanuts Bar, +El Gouna, Red Sea
+Radisson Blu Heliopolis
Grand Hotel, +Malahide Dublin
Dunes Bar  +El Gouna, Red Sea
+Starbucks Coffee - always good quality reception too.
Insomnia Coffee
+Irish Rail
+Park Plaza Hotels & Resorts
+The Shard
McDonalds.com
Maison Bussiere, Bussiere Poitevine, near Limoges, France
+Hotels Viva & Vanity Hotels Mallorca, Spain
wybostonlakes.co.uk Bedfordshire, UK
bay.ie restaurant, Clontarf, Co Dublin





We are getting a lot of interest in this campaign after just one day. I gather tourism authorities in +Australia are turning the screw on hotels there to drop wi-fi charges for fear it is alienating visitors. Maybe governments across the world should crank up the pressure. As a colleague told me last night, people expect free wi-fi in hotels as much as they do hot running water,




Let me know if you want to add to this list of good guys.
