Wireless Nation.
A new Aussie directory listing independent wireless hotspots has launched called Wireless Nation. Currently they claim over 1028 hotspots listed. The only issue is that there is a $10 fee for a year. Which in itself isn’t a lot of money, but when I don’t use many hotspots it’s not going to pay back anytime soon. There is currently a free 30 day trial, so at least you can get a feel for it.
The interesting feature is the WAP enabled service though. So the mobile warrior doesn’t have to rely on smoke signals and can use their phone to check for a location.
Beyond its web service, this Australian owned and operated site provides a WAP enabled service so the closest hotspot can be found anywhere using any appropriate mobile phone. Features include a search by postcode, price, member ratings and reviews.

Actually it certainly isn’t. I’d let you know if it was or put it in the Sponsor section on the right.

Looked at this service and it looks great. As a traveler, $10 a year is nothing for an invaluable service like this especially when I can locate a free service
