What would you do in such a situation? Would you buy wireless access to surf the Internet for just 10 minutes while you can email the file? If you decide to do that then let me welcome you to the club of people who waste money when they could have save it.

My site, The Wi-Fi-FreeSpot Directory - http://www.wififreespot.com - also lists free Wi-Fi locations around the world, businesses, libraries, etc., but not residential locations.

Oh ok, I guess that must be their revenue model where they charge users for adding in free Wifi Hotspots.

Keith,
I don’t recommend this site at all. I tried it on a small city I am familiar with and it didn’t pull up a thing. Not one hot spot when I know there to be several as I have used them. Also, the site was ssslllooowww!
I did check out James’ site http://www.wififreespot.com as posted above and it does work! Very well, indeed. I put in the same small city and it returned about 36+ locations - several of which I am personally familiar with and all the rest are very logical locations/providers.
I’ll be using James’ site. Thank you James!!
