NoFi: NoBroadband
One reason you didn't find a lot of WiFi signals is that it's still next to impossible, thanks to competitive access being overturned and the mishmash that is Boston's cable and telephone infrastructure, to get any sort of broadband access in Boston. I lived in Cambridge for eight months--just the other side of the river--where I could get DSL or cable, and had freely available WiFi at Kendall Square (probably because I was already authenticated on the MIT network). Then we moved to Boston and spent the next year and a half sharing a dialup connection over my AirPort base station. Argh. That said, check out the free WiFi in Newbury Street next to the pay WiFi at Starbucks.
