Perhaps instead of charging advertisers on a CPC basis you could build an affiliate network of sorts for newsletters. That way advertisers could pay on an action / transaction basis. Or even better you could blend the two together. Just a thought. Best, Andrew Hi Ryan,

This proved a godsend when I recently moved house and was waiting for broadband to be installed. Ultra wi-fi's the name: http://www.thecloud.net/content.asp?section=4&content=57 Ryan,

I'm familiar with this sphere and also develop web applications with similar purposes. If you want more information, please send me an email. I hope that we can work together. :) Ryan,

Excellent Idea. I would use the email advertising service in a minute, as an advertiser, if there were a category for newletters directed at visual artists.

Well, every major coffee/fast food chain in the UK. They all outsource the service to companies like T Mobile and SipNSurf, so its those guys setting the rates. Anyway, you guys should try http://www.jiwire.com - There's an firefox toolbar incorporating the hotspot finder, and also an OSX widget which is really cool. “For some stupid reason, Starbucks (and every other coffee shop in town) thinks it’s a great business move to charge between £5 and £15 per day for wifi.”
