Skype to Offer Free Wifi in Over 50 U.S. Airports This Holiday Season
From December 21st thru December 27th, Skype (and, by extension, Microsoft), will offer free access to third-party WiFi hotspots through its Skype WiFi program in over 50 airports all across the U.S.
This might ease the blow of having to travel during the holidays.
