wifi in Paris, France

One of the WiFi networks I can apparently try to connect to is called FreeWiFi. When I try to connect to this network, it sends me to:

http://wifi.free.fr

which requests a user name and password.

Anyone familiar with this network? Is it free? How can I get a user name and password?

I assume the username and password is only necessary so they can make sure you aren't doing anything illegal with your access.




Is http://wifi.free.fr the same thing as:

www.paris.fr/portail/Economie/Portal.lut…

It looks like, if I could read this french site, that I could get a username and password for a free, Paris wide, wifi network.

Is this true?

If it is a wifi network, but isn't free, how much does it cost?
Is it possible to get this information in English?
(There is an English link on the top of the page, but click on that link does not send me to an english translation of this page.)



Does anyone have any recommendations on generally Paris wide wifi networks (either free or paid)?



Does anyone have any recommendations on accurate websites containing listings of businesses in Paris offering free wifi access?



Virtually any comments on accessing the internet via wifi in Paris would be welcome.

Thank you.
