Concourse/iPass are going to somehow extract money from corporate accounts, but if you've got a wireless laptop anyway - it's free. Am I the only one that can't make that add up ? If you go to the concourse/ipass web sites, you'll not find a whole bundle of info about pricing - they seem to be following the wayport et. al. model from what I can tell. Time for an email to concourse...
