You certainly may be correct about not willing to pay an hourly fee but
we are 
not talking desktop PCs but mobile devices: PDAs, notebooks, wifi
phones, etc. 
They either come with wireless NICs or people have already bought
wireless NICs 
since they run a wireless router in the home.

The City is making a small step by committing to provide wireless
hotspots in 
the Millenium Library and possibly other civic buildings. Not clear if
it will 
be free in certain areas. It will probably be a service provided by a
private 
company.
