Australia May Love Bloggers But Sydney Airport Does Not

April 10, 2009 at 12:36 PM | by | Comments (2)

We've already come to praise Tourism Australia's blogger initiative, and Australia's other efforts to get more people visiting Down Under, like low air fares, MySpace pages, Island Reef Jobs, etc.

However, their loyal readers might end up waiting until they get back to hear about the trip. With Sydney Airport's WiFi provided by Telstra at a whopping $14/hour, and competitor Optus at $13.20, that free promotion might not be worth it. It's nice that the airport looked to inspire competition among its ISPs, but that should be driving prices down.

Taking Tourism Australia up on their offer? Let us know how the WiFi beams.

I thought ...

that people came here for our kangaroos not our WiFi. Remember we are woefully behind in a few things ... telecommunications being one of them. We use the excuse that it's a massive country but sparsely populated, so telecomms are hard ... but that doesn't really hold true for Sydney Airport. Sorry, but you probably need to anticipate switching off and relaxing on a Down Under vacation!
