Wayport (www.wayport.com) is $50/mo or $30/mo with a 12-month contract. They also offer prepaid cards: $25 card: 3 connections ($8.33 per connection); $50 card: 8 connections ($6.25 per connection); $100 card: 20 connections ($5.00 per connection).

Boingo (www.boingo.com) is $22/mo ($10/mo first 3mo, "per-minute charges may apply at some premium locations") with no contract and seems to claim to consist of

iBahn + TMob WiFi + AT&T WiFi + Wayport + Sprint WiFi + some others

so is there any reason I'd want to subscribe to Wayport directlly? I realize a really low-volume or occasional user might prefer Wayport's prepaid cards, but I'm asking about monthly vs. monthly.

Also, what's the coverage like? In Ottawa, it seems to consist of Starbucks, UPS Stores, a couple of hotels, and YOW. Bell Mobility HotSpots but not Rogers?

Finally, is the "Boingo's Free Wi-Fi Software" intrusive?

Thanks!
