DENVER (AP) -- Travelers with laptops will no longer have to shell out $7.95 to connect to the Internet at DIA.
The Rocky Mountain News says the airport dropped charges for WiFi recently.
And use of its system has increased tenfold.
Darrly Jenkins, a Virginia-based aviation consultant, says thank you. He says it is becoming more and more important to have wireless access virtually all the time.
Most airports offer wireless Internet access, but they differ on whether or not to charge passengers.
Spokesman Jeff Green said DIA, which had offered 24-hour and monthly access plans, decided to drop the charge in an effort to provide better service and "stay a leading-edge airport."
