Why's it need to be temporary, anyway? It's an airport. Nobody's sticking around.

You haven’t “flown” recently, have you?

Why, did they add a week-long quarantine in baggage check? It's an airport. The whole point is to show up and leave. Even if the wait lasts longer than the flight.

If your ass in there longer than 24 hours, the wifi should be considered an apology.

It lasted 1 hour for me and if you've been to a busy airport you can be there for longer than that

Then why is it one hour?

Long time ago, it was probably due to overcrowding. Very easy to get shit quality of service once it hits a certain time of day.

But with advances in wireless technology (backhaul, 5Ghz, MIMO, …) I think that’s no longer the case.
