[LINK] Free hotspots

[stephen at melbpc.org.au]

These guys seem *very* keen to grow their wireless net hotspot coverage.

As far as I can see, they offer FREE wireless net-access for a business
to offer to their customers, with a FREE installation service, and it's
FREE for customers to use ..

Wireless Hotspot FAQ

Q. It sounds too good to be true, is it really free?
A. Yes it really is free, for both you and your customers, even if 
   they’re not Internode customers. 

Q. So why is it free?
A. At the same time as we help you attract more customers and keep them 
   there longer, our presence there will help to promote our business. 

Q. What do I need?
A. A standard telephone line and a power point in the right location. 
   You’ll also need to display the signs we give you and agree to some 
   basic terms and conditions. 

Q. How long does it take to get?
A. Once we receive your application, an Internode representative will 
   call you to discuss your application and make sure it’s a win-win 
   situation. Then from approval to the time it’s ready to go should
   only be 2-3 weeks.  

Q. Who installs it?
A. One of our technicians will install the service during an arranged 
   time during business hours. Average installation time is only 45 
   minutes. 

Q. Once it’s installed, what do my customers need to do?
A. All they need to do is connect their laptop or mobile device to the 
   wireless network called ‘Internode’, then start up their web browser 
   and follow those instructions. Easy.  

Q. What if something goes wrong with the equipment?
A. That’s unlikely, but if something should happen, simply call us and 
   we’ll send one of our technicians to sort it out.
