Ugh.. and it is so hard to actually get on those wifi networks -- at least as a traveller. They'll give it free to mobile customers, who never bother to use it

Ugh.. and it is so hard to actually get on those wifi networks -- at least as a traveller. They'll give it free to mobile customers, who never bother to use it. Yes, I was referring to cafe / resto wifi. If one opens it, then people take advantage, but if everyone opens theirs, then nobody bothers. Only some really cheapskate neighbors who most probably don't consume all that much of it anyways. everybody has a smartphone now, most don't bother asking for the wifi password. If you ask for it, then often the next problem is the router doesn't work because nobody has used it in so long.
