Roam if you want to

McDonald's uses Wayport.
Starbucks uses T-Mobile.
Lots of other places have it for free.

My question is, when I'm out of my calling area on my Verizon mobile phone, I can use another network and pay a slightly higher fee; a roaming charge.

So why can't I have an account with T-Mobile's WiFi service, and pay a roaming fee (say, 25 cents an hour more) when I'm at McDonald's without having to open a Wayport account? Why must I open an account with both services? And don't tell me it's a hardware compatiblity problem.
