Wireless network experience -- Starbucks

Following Monday’s meeting and workshop at Box Hill TAFE I took the opportunity to experiment with the WI-FI connection at a Starbucks coffee lounge in Hawthorn. I provided my own laptop computer with a wireless card installed. After successful connection to the network a web page displayed in my browser with some welcoming messages from the Telstra network at Starbucks. There was a button to “connect to the Internet” which led to a page presenting a range of payment options and an indication the rates (25 cents connection fee and a charge of 20 cents per minute). I selected the Telstra post paid mobile option, which meant the connection fee would be included on my next phone bill (other options included a Telstra BigPond account and a credit card). I entered my mobile phone number, pressed enter, and within a few seconds received a text message with a login code. I entered the code numbers into the login entry box on the web page and was able to connect to a website.. I checked my email and disconnected. I then received a text message advising the length of time I had been connected and the total fee.
