Telstra's WiFi network may not cost them much. Telstra will
be getting their customers to pay for the special WiFi equipped routers, 
required to allow bandwidth to be shared between the customer who has 
the unit in their home and others.

Also Sri Lanka Telecom have announced ‘carrier-grade’ public Wi-Fi hotspots:

Hopefully this will be faster than the WiFi I used in Sri Lanka, which
was very sloooow. At one guest house the WiFi was not working at all, so 
the staff handed me the router and suggested I take it back to my room 
and see if I could get it to work. This was a small device with a USB 
dongle plugged in, to connect to a 3G network:
