Top 3 Best Wireless Access Spots for Business Travelers

1. Panera Bread

I remember the first time I heard about Panera Bread, I thought to myself "Why would anyone want to go to a bread restaurant?" I could not have been so wrong. Besides offering fantastic soups, sandwiches and flatbreads, each location also provides free wireless access. You don't pay a fee, you just log on and go. In fact, the locations I have been to will let you stay as long as you want, even if you just order tea. I guess that they figure it will only be so long befire you can resist the aroma of their heavenly Forest Mushroom Soup or their fresh-baked Crispanis.

2. Starbucks

They are omnipresent. They are legion in their number. You can walk down a cityblock in Manhattan and pass four of them easy. Starbucks are everywhere. Luckily for business travelers, they also offer wireless access in most stores. Sure, you have to sign up for a T-Mobile account, but you can get wireless access in a pinch and a great cup of joe at the same time.

3. Public Libraries

Most public libraries offer some form of wireless Internet access as a public service. When you're be-bopping through a new city, and you see a public library, pop in. Besides the wireless connectivity, you will also be able to work pretty much undistrurbed. Just remember to keep quiet.
