Nope. Hot spots don't mean you get free access, just that the
access is there for those who can pay--if that's what's involved.
Had you been willing to pay, you would have gotten a username and
password from
starbucks, most likely, to connect.

Subject: [Braillenote] HotSpots
Dear Listers,
I was wondering if anyone has tried using their BrailleNote to
connect to a HotSpot, such as: Starbuck's, malls, or any other
place that offers WiFi access.
I recently tried this at Starbuck's, I was able to find, connect
to the internet; the part where I found some problems was when I
tried opening the web browser, when I tried to open the web
browser, the page that appeared was a page that required a user
name and password. And, when I read further down the page, there
was information about pricing, I thought the purpose of HotSpots
was to be able to access the internet, get in and out, all
without paying. Later that same day, I still had the
determination to get on to the internet, for the sake of doing
so, I went to the movies, I was a bit early, so I tried accessing
their internet, I found, connected, but when I tried opening the
browser, I got the message "cannot find server."
Has anyone had this experience when trying to access a HotSpot,
if so, can you please fill me in on your work-around I didn't
think trying to access a HotSpot could be so complicated.
Thanks for the information you are able to provide regarding this
topic.
Kevin
