No more hassles for rushing travelers in the San Francisco International Airport: Here comes wireless!

Wi-Fi connection became a booming fad ever since it became available for users. Why so? This is because not only can the connection offer network connectivity but it can also give the user hands free access to the network. Talk about not worrying about the wires anymore! Practical and handy!

However, Wi-Fi has only had limited areas to be available, mostly in coffee shops or in malls. Areas with most people in it. But then again, how about it if you’re travelling, just like in an airport? Not everyone has the leisure to set up their own wireless connections while they are on travel. Most people in airports are rushing and hurrying to finish their tasks on time. You know that you still need the connection at the precise moment but you’re not in an area wherein a hotspot is located. Now this is a lot of a trouble.

This is what the San Francisco International Airport has considered and is now going to provide travelers who pass through the airport to be able to access the internet for free via wireless connection. Approval on Tuesday will decide whether traveler’s smartphones and laptops can soon be receiving free wireless connections within the airport vicinity.

With this set up, travelers, are able to access the internet through the T-Mobile hotspot. This move, yet to be endorsed by the San Francisco City Purchaser will take San Francisco along with its Bay Area Competitors (Which are the San Jose and Oakland airports who are already offering free internet to travelers). Wi-Fi advertising or sponsorship is the proposed solution to offset costs of providing this free service.
