Free Wi-Fi in Terminal 8
Not sure about other terminals, but on my iPod Touch (should work with iPhone) the boingo network gives you 15 minutes of free internet for every 15 seconds of ads you watch (can't remember the SSID but it was the only open wireless network). For some reason this didn't work with my laptop - the only choices with boingo for my laptop all required some payment (by the hour, by the day, etc.)
If a laptop's all you've got maybe try spoofing your browser's identity to pretend you're an iPhone? (MobileSafari is what it might be looking for.) Maybe any mobile browser works.
