You're not missing anything. It depends on the network. For instance, I have a home wireless network, one at school that is paid for through my tuition fees, and there are two coffee shops with free wireless access for anyone. :) There are some though that want you to pay,. Depends on what happens when you open up your web browser, I suppose.

Same with airports. Am I missing something here?

Most public hotspots are a paid for service to access these hotspots. You scan for networks. Your PDA should find the network that you want, once you find the network launch your Web browser, and it should open to a page that will allow you to enter your information such as your name and payment information. Once you do this your network should be established, allowing you to surf the Web and receive e-mail with a high-speed connection. On the other hand, this may be a network where whoever's in charge of the network gives you all the information to allow you to access the network. I hope this helps.
