Posted: 1:40 pm PST March 16, 2004
SAN FRANCISCO, Ca -- San Francisco International Airport has become the first airport
in Northern California to offer high-speed wireless Internet access to
patrons throughout its entire facility, officials announced today. According to airport spokesman Michael McCarron, the new service,
known as Wi-Fi, will allow travelers with laptop computers and other devices
to send and receive e-mail, access corporate networks, and surf the Internet
from anywhere at SFO. All that is needed to access the service, which is being provided
by T-Mobile, is an 802.11a/b wireless card and a service plan, McCarron said. To celebrate the inauguration of the service, officials on
Thursday and Friday will distribute 20,000 service access cards, free of
charge. The cards normally cost $9.95, and allow the user one day of Wi-Fi
access at SFO, as well as any other T-Mobile-supported facility in the
country, McCarron said.
