[Michael Borthwick]

Today's Green Guide carried an ad for a mob called 
http://www.woznet.com.au offering free wifi from a (currently very 
small) range of city bars and restaurants.

Their web site has an incredibly sucky Flash animation (with sound!) 
[very 1998] on *every* page but no details as to who is behind the 
business.

The business model appears to be that the bar owner pays woznet to 
provide the hotspot and receives customer goodwill/increased custom in 
return.

Not sure how you prevent other business from cashing in on the goodwill.

Or perhaps http://www.woznet.com.au are doing it all for free to raise 
their profile and sell wireless consulting and strategy.

P.S. Not be confused with Steve Wozniak's wireless venture of the same 
name...
