Default where do I look for this info???

Do a search for "hotspots" maybe?

Take your laptop etc down there and see what the SSID is for the
service. It may indicate who it belongs to...

If you have LOS to the site and can arrange a high gain directive
antenna (eg yagi/disk) then you might just get connected!

Found an article about Sprint having provided a hotspot near Devine;

http://www.bbwexchange.com/pubs/2007...369-567277.asp

Note that this isn't the open 802.11x variety but their own $ network.

You can also try this search engine but I don't know how accurate the
results are.

Good luck!
