Yeah, and what else Cannon forgot to say was that most of
the "pay for service" wireless providers in DEN left as a result
of the free wifi, and getting a signal on any network that doesn't
force you to watch a 30 second flash commercial is futile, not
to mention the lossyness of an over-subscribed free wifi network
is a pain  Only upside is that they [presumably inadvertently]
permit pretty much any kind of tunneling you want.
