On behalf of Boingo...
oddgoblin & hans-castorp --to answer your questions:
The per-minute fees are only for the "Boingo Unlimited" plan customers, which is a laptop account for North American usage. The "Boingo Mobile" account provides unlimited access to all hotspots with no premium fees.
Boingo Mobile is currently available for Nokia Internet Tablets, Nokia S60 smartphones, and Windows Mobile 5 devices at this time. Windows Mobile 6 will be available soon.

At http://www.boingo.com/, two plans are presented: Laptop WiFi vs Mobile WiFi at $21.95 vs $7.95 / mo. Presumably, both plans give you access to the same set of global APs -- so what are the technical characteristics of both plans that justify these very different rates?
On page, http://www.boingo.com/services.html, yet another breakdown is presented: Boingo Unlimited vs Boingo Global vs Boingo AsYouGo at $21.95 vs $39 vs $7.95... then there's the hiddent issue of roaming fees, which some international APs charge.

Seems to be for other countries like europe - maybe some other US cities have more.
PS there is another recent thread which talks a lot about hotspots and wifi and boingo,
right here: http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ead.php?t=8755
Does anyone else pay Boingo to use their service in Europe? Is it worth it?
