Re: [tlug] Wifi hotspot access in Tokyo

[furkan@example.com]

I'm using Wi2, with only 380¥ a month, it works quite well. It even 
doesn't ask for username/password if you register your mac addresses (up 
to 5 devices). There are hotspots are usually around popular places, 
train stations, cafes. I usually can find a hotspot easily when I need 
it.
