Ever been sitting in an airport with paid WiFi service and you think to yourself, "Boy i’d hate to pay $9.99 for 10 minutes!"? Well, if FMN Communications installed one of their coin-op hotspots, you are good to go, right?

"In a bid to solve this problem, FMN Communications has produced a coin operated wi-fi hotspot that lets you pay for access by the minute.

Charges for each unit of time on the wireless net are set by the firms that sign up and use it. Up to 16 people can be handled by each coin-operated hot spot."

I think we can file this one under the "who’s gonna do that" category.
