Yeah, I just came across the same thing. I had actually mentioned that
site on this list several months ago. :) Interesting to see that they're
no longer charging - at that stage you could buy "full broadband" access
for $8.02 a month.

Now it seems the only option is free access, but you need to install a
toolbar that shows you an ad every half hour.

I wonder if they have a carrier licence, they could be playing with fire
by doing clearly commercial things via wifi...
