Thank you United Airlines

During my trip this week to San Francisco I was pleased to discover that United Airlines had placed work areas throughout its gate areas inTerminal 3. The work areas feature a long counter, with stools, and numerous power outlets. I'm sure anyone reading this has spent a great deal of time searching airport concourses for the rare, and often unavailable power adapter. The installation of these work areas is a welcome change (and surprisingly they are free to use).

It's taken a pretty long while, but maybe airports will finally make the transition to providing greater support for the virtual worker. Still I wonder what the impact of these types of work areas will be on airport club rooms. My primary reason behind joining a club was to have a quiet place to work and a power outlet. Now that I've got it in the main part of the concourse, do I really need to pay for a club anymore. Maybe I should keep this quiet?
