The Washington Post rounds up local hotspots, the Journal covers travel tips and Wi-Fi woes (sub. req.): The Washington Post looks into D.C. and environs hotspots, providing a detailed review of the quality of the location, its food, and other notes. These types of stories have become less common as Wi-Fi turns into a component expected without comment, like an appropriate nitrogen/oxygen mix in a cafe's air or tap water on demand.
The Journal looks briefly into what makes one hotspot reliable and another not--I disagree with their conclusion that it's free versus fee, of course. And Jim Carlton files a column on traveling tips, quoting me at the end, and a few colleagues. My friend and colleague Adam Engst apparently carries a PowerSquid with him, which could provoke a number of ribald comments, but let's just say, a PowerSquid is a good way to make friends in an airport.
