I have to go into Nassau Long Island (Mineola-Garden City) tomorrow, and I will need Internet access in the afternoon. well, T-Mobile Wireless Broadband are everywhere wherever there's a starbucks, and there's a whole bunch of starbucks in there, but do i have to pay for it? or can any joe schmoe connect to it?

im gonna go get my AXIM and search for a free signal... hopefully i wont get arrested like the Florida guy...

TMHS is a paid service, I'm sure you will find plenty of open unsecured networks...
