Well I can't address why wireless is more or less beneficial for retirees on the road. But in general more and more Hotels and coffee shops have WiFi access points available for public use. So if you have a wireless equipped laptop you could use this service. Check out: http://www.ezgoal.com/hotspots/ For a place to start. Even McDonalds is starting to offer this service.
