Battery charging stations for a fee?

I'm headed to Florida to speak at a conference. Along the way I
noticed this odd looking machine - after closer inspection it's a
machine that enables you to charge your devices. They have all sorts
of connetions for different types of devices. This was perfect my
iPhone needed some juice & I was delighted to see such a thoughtful
idea. Until I realized of was for a fee!

Pay for power to charge my devices?

Wow, that's pretty crazy especially when there were power outlets at
the terminal about 50 feet away! And besides i carry my Xantrex
portable backup power device whenever i travel anyway. Good luck with
that business model.

Would you pay to charge your devices at an airport?

Hell no!!! You've already got to shell out extra cash for luggage, why this unnecessary nonsense. Particularly, as you point out, the plethora of outlets in most major airports, or personal power devices carried by tech savvy individuals such as yourself.
