JiWire - who have provided an iPhone optimized WiFi finder page for
quite some time - have announced today that members of their
advertising network are offering iPhone and iPod Touch users the
option to connect to Wi-Fi networks for free in exchange for viewing a
JiWire-supplied advertisement.
The option will be available at select Wi-Fi hotspots located in
airports, hotels, cafes, and other desirable locations around the
world. Major airpo rts include Atlanta-Hartsfield, JFK and LaGuardia
in New York and Chicago's O'Hare. Members of the JiWire Wi-Fi
Advertising Network collectively operate more than 100,000 hotspots.
That's a very cool initiative, especially while we're still 3G-less on
the iPhone. I haven't quite figured out yet how to distinguish
between free hotspots that were already in the directory, and new ones
added via the new advertising network (I'm at home right now, so not
going to be able to test and see if an ad shows up), but hey - any
extra free WiFi is always a good thing, and JiWire's iPhone interface
is pretty simple and slick too!
