iiNet wireless internet hotspots
I mentioned iiNet and Tomizone earlier, but they deserves a separate post. From their business section:
“Your Hotspot location will be shown on our site so customers can come to you. You can add people to your Hotspot who can have free access - this means that they don’t have to pay to access your hotspot. A great bonus to a customer for buying your product.”
So, for business only?
It only works with Belkin wireless routers, which then need a firmware upgrade to play nice with Tomizone.
Tomizone only shows 4 hotspots for Sydney. I guess there are more Meraki access points around!
I installed the firmware as I am with iinet and own one of those routers. However, both my xbox 360 and my company-supplied-alpha-pvr (shhhh) failed to connect to the router. If that’s the kind of quality we can expect from tomizone, I suspect consumer uptake will be pretty thin, despite the ‘free’-ness.
