Earlier today, San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsom announced that all public spaces at SFO will offer free WiFi for travelers.
The service had previously been offered as a paid option, but when the paid contract ended, the airport operator decided to switch to a free service instead.
As the airport serving the high-tech capital of the world, I’m amazed it took this long – though I’m sure many of the travelers passing through SFO already took care of their online access, with a mobile broadband adapter or tethered phone.
To get online at SFO, search for the network named “sfo free wifi” and accept the terms and conditions. As with any public WiFi network, be sure to practice safe surfing!
