Airport Internet Connections

I travel a lot but I never taken my laptop because I've never needed it. Well a flight coming up has a 2 hour lay over. I was wondering if Airports had places for me to plug in my laptop for internet. Like beyond the gates you'd think they'd offer this since your a paying customer and alot of business men carry laptops....anyone know if airports have this? Thanks

BTW the airport is in Charlette NC...

Well I have yet to find an airport with a place to plug in. I know some airport has wireless hotspots. Some of them are free and some of them are pay. One place I know has free WIRELESS acces is Ft. Lauderdale Int.. If you don't have some kind of wireless then Your probably gonna be out of luck. Also, I looked at the webpage for Douglas Int. (I assumed this was where your going) and didn't see anythign that would indicate thay had domputer data services, although the Ft. Lauderdale webpage doesn' tindicate and computer data availibility either. Hopefully you'll get lucky. Have a safe flight

hmmm you think they would offer this....I mean the plane tickets are hella expensive and alot of people pass through with laptops...and when you have hours of being laid over this would be very benefial work time....oh well maybe i'll get lucky....i do have wireless along with wired so if they have it i can hook up with it......

I guess it could be a security threat....or someone could do something stupid from it, like hacking or something, which might back it very hard to trace since there is so much traffic through there.....but still i dont see why an airport wouldnt have this and my local coffee shop does.....

thanks anyway...maybe i'll get lucky and they will have it....that would make my flight a lot less boring, I would be fored to interact with people....dare I say it?....in real life...heheh

update....i searched the webpage and it said

Data Ports
Data ports are located in the Quiet Zone of The Atrium. Please look for a sign to denote a data port-capable phone.

I dunno what that means but it doesnt sound like something for a computer....and thats the closest thing they have. So it looks like I'm SOL....I guess I'll bring a movie with me.....
