Atlanta's Hartsfield Airport boasts full WiFi coverage

Marc Perton writes over on Engadget:

Travelers passing through Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport may soon find that the airport’s high-tech infrastructure runs deeper than iPod vending machines. The airport this week rolled out a WiFi network that covers all 5.8 million square feet of its premises, allowing travelers to connect from just about anywhere, including the tarmac (which could mean actually being able to use your laptop while you’re stuck in an idling plane).

Of course, the service comes with a price: fees will run from roughly $7.95 per day to a monthly rate of $38 for frequent fliers. So far, there’s no word on whether travelers using airline clubs will be able to get free access, or if they’ll be forced to pay for WiFi, as is happening at Boston’s Logan Airport.
