Arent there certain businesses that have free wifi as well? Freeway Coffee House comes to mind... others?

I'm wandering around the city using my phone, which can pick up wireless networks, so I haven't a clue about bandwidth or any particular limitations. I just use it to check my email and facebook and sometimes this forum.
Freeway Coffee House does have free wifi, I was using that two weeks ago. It's actually really nice inside too.
This city has a number of pockets of unencrypted wifi, which probably aren't intentionally open and probably not going to always be there. I found one on Locke a while back, north of the Starbucks. Another on Ottawa on the east side, not too far north of the Tim Hortons. There's a Hasty Market on Main/Sanford which has been a very useful place to stand outside and check my email lol. One on Main Street by the bus stop east from Dundurn. There's one in Eastgate Mall, nearby the big home furnishings store.
