Anyway, most WiFi terminals I've heard of are either free use for all in the area OR you have to work for the company. Signing up for a service involving a fee seems a little... odd... I mean, that would have to be a fairly wide spread network and once one leaves the area where it's setup, it becomes useless and if they find another terminal, they have to deal with THAT one's access privilages anyway.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
