I understand from an old acquaintance at the Fifth Wheel Truckstop in Bowmanville that a service called Trucknet.com is listed for their area, but it has gone bankrupt and is no longer available.
My Son flew to Halifax and back between Xmas and New Years. for a visit with an old school friend. He was able to use his laptop with a wireless router that plugs into any 110 volt outlet while in the Halifax Airport. It requires that a local service be available that is unsecured by a password! Yet while in Toronto Internat'l Airport this same equipment failed to lock onto an open available unsecured service. So go figure!

Good luck, catch you later! Accremonious
