Airports seem to be split -- some have free WiFi, others charge for it, I'm not sure what distinguishes them (maybe it's hubs versus non-hubs). I also was in one that had the option of free WiFi after you watched some ads.

A town near here plans to offer free WiFi: WiFi set for downtown L’Anse

Users will then be able to click through a village welcome page and a page with local business advertisements again, but resetting every half hour is to ensure the free service is not abused.

I was researching some info, I know that little town was in Cadiz, but little more.

Anyway, not so far from there, Malaga;s city council, wich is the third biggest city in Spain by population was fined with 300.000 € for giving free internet wifi access to his citizens between 2007 and 2008. The fine was imposed by something called CMT (Comisión del Mercado de Telecomunicaciones)

The same concept exists in the US.
