“If you’re not paying for it, you’re the product.”

I see the fine print requires SkyMiles frequent fliers membership; tie the device in use to the SM account, I guess.

The TOS might be interesting to read.

(No one will)

Do you think none of us here didn’t already know that? Not sure the point of your commentless posting.

It's called a "discussion forum" where people discuss things. Not sure the point of your pointless comment.

I always use a VPN when on public wifi just for this reason.

I'll break it down from what I've heard from others:

Waaaaa, I can't scroll Instagram/Trashbook/troll on APC/text my 3rd wife from the flight deck (did I cover all generations?) because they can track me by FFN vs all the T-Mobile numbers they use.

Honestly, no more wifi at rest issues

What did you want to discuss about your linked article? Did you have thoughts about this? I must have missed them.

Hopefully the weather viewer won't freeze up half the time now.

As a customer who always buys the wifi, I think this will slow down the wifi even more. Sigh...
