New Zealand Offers Free Wi-Fi for MSN Messenger
Posted by Darius Wey in "NEWS" @ 01:00 PM
"Telecom New Zealand is making MSN Messenger connections free on their wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) hotspots. You don't need an account with Telecom or Xtra (their ISP) to use the wireless service, which is available in some airports, hotels and Starbucks across New Zealand. While they still limit the full use of this wireless service to current Telecom account holders (which defeats the purpose for overseas visitors and people who do not use Telecom's services), it seems that there's some work in the background to enable roaming with some large wireless LAN provider, plus some other cool features."
In a bowl, add two tablespoons of 'interesting', a pinch of 'strange' and one cup of 'cool', stir well - and you get the Kiwis' latest public hotspot innovation. :)
