Boston’s Logan Airport – the crappiest major airport in the world (and we can say that as it’s unfortunately our flying home base) – is trying to block Continental Airlines from offering free Wi-Fi.
The Massachusetts Port Authority, which runs Logan, says the airline’s wireless antenna “presents an unacceptable potential risk” to Logan’s safety and security systems, including its keycard access system and state police communications. Logan also happens to offer wireless access to travelers for $7.95 a day, but we’re sure that has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with its assessment of the situation.
Continental has been offering free Wi-Fi to members of its Presidents Club lounge since last December. Mass Port last month ordered Continental to stop supplying free wireless access. The airline told Mass Port to pound sand and filed a complaint with the FCC.
