I'm using my first wireless hotspot from here in the domestic terminal at Perth Airport. I am waiting to boar the flight to Kalgoorlie, drinking my coffee and generally being cool. It's good to be hanging out with Peter again - we should have fun this week.

They use a captive portal to enable access, and I entered in my mobile phone number in and got an SMS. The SMS had an authorization token. They charge $5 for the first 15 minutes, and 20c/minute after that, so the initial connection fee is probably priced about as high as most people would entertain, yet if you're looking for an hours access it won't break the bank.

Literally within 30 seconds I had authenticated with the access point, entered my mobile number and logged in. Without a doubt, this has been the easiest Telstra service I've ever had to use ;)
