Qantas Club, Telstra and WiFi

  • 發行項

Here I am sitting in the Qantas Club lounge at Melbourne International Airport, on my way to NY. It's good to see Qantas Clubs have finally put in some sort of a WiFi solution! But I'm not overly impressed with Telstra's pricing. $14 for 60 minutes of internet access seems a bit heavy in 2004. I remember my early days at OzEmail back in 1996 - we were only charging $5/hr back then! Okay, so that was for 28.8k dial-up, not wireless broadband, but still...

What are the WiFi charges like in other airport lounges around the world? Can anybody fill me in?

    Cometa (http://www.cometa-hotspot.com/index.shtml) has the best rates, outside of FREE, that I've found. $2.99 for 24 hours of service, $11.95/month. They provide the WiFi for Tullys, which you don't have in Australia OR NYC, Barnes and Noble, and McDonalds. At least in Seattle.

    In Italy Rome and Milano airport are covered by megabeam (http://www.megabeam.it). 6.50 Euro for 1 hour, 12.90 Euro for 24 hours (respectively around 8 and 16 US$).

    Wellington NZ has "cafenet" around the city centre and charges a very reasonable NZ$20 for 80Mb unlimited time. Great system and I hope they extend the coverage.
