Maybe I could interest you in testing Whisher with WiFi Out, we are doing a launch promotion where you can get free credit for testing, just join here: http://www.whisher.com/freewifi David,

I believe this should not be the case. What makes this even more irritating is that when I called Boingo they informed me that these hotspots, the One Zone Metro WiFi Mesh Zone in Toronto, are premium locations. Curiously, there is no mention of "premium" or a "premium fee" in the Boingo directory. Not only is this misleading, it appears to me to be a cash grab from unsuspecting customers. However, I should point out that after arguing the point Boingo agreed to refund the charges for that hotspot (which, in reality, were only a few dollars).
