That's generally true in the US as well. That's why people are so outraged by this.

Lol, I'm jealous. Pretty much all public WiFi requires login in the UK.

It was very easy to get free WiFi in the US compared to most EU countries I've been in. But here in the EU at least I have cheap data so it's not all bad.
