Hi Eric,
Isn't it possible to set up a system in which a user agreement pops up, but
that does not require a password? That is common in airports (that provide
free Wi-Fi) and hospitals.
Seems like a much simpler system to maintain. This would work for the phones
as well, because to use the Wi-Fi you still need to "accept" the user
agreement.

Hello, all:
We have upgraded our internet service, building a whole new network
infrastructure (thanks Cisco Foundation!) and a big ol pipeline out to the
internet. We are now trying to be thoughtful about how to make public
access work.
According to our IT guy, it is important to get users to agree to a user
agreement before we provide free access, in case they use our access points
do something that causes legal trouble. It makes sense to me (I miss the
techno utopian days...) Also we don't want every phone to jump on our
network by default when they could do just as well with their 4g data
service.
So we are thinking of a model that has a password on our ticket that changes
weekly or something along those lines, and then they get to the kind of sign
in page that you would get in a hotel or at Starbucks, simply agreeing to
our terms putting in their names and the password.
Do any of you provide completely open 3G? Do any of you use the system we
are describing?
We're grateful for any feedback.
thanks in advance
