michaelmurfy: And 4G is coming soon too, the WiFi is great, sure you've got to confirm each day but once you've confirmed for the day you're automatically connected.

Nokia 720 isn't 4G capable as far as I am aware but that isn't a big deal for me on a phone, I'll look at a stick or mobile hotspot if the need arises.

How long does 'confirming' take?

Didn't anybody tell you I was a hacker?

I saw a comment somewhere regarding some companies possibly getting on board with telecom to enable this service indoors too. Will we see this in Telecom Retail stores also?

My flatmate works in a business hub here in Wellington and confirms that they now have it active in their store. I believe it'll be rolling out to other stores but most of the stores had free unlocked WiFi anyway (simply using an open wireless router)
