That would be another solution.
You'd have the same issue (at least on the iPhone) of needing to run the app to auth. Also, I didn't notice that tweet. I was referring to: "@personaltelco I'd consider it, but logistics- how do I prove I've paid w/o logging in? Splash screen makes phone access nearly impossible." I guess I made a slight assumption about his intent, but I took it to mean his phone didn't work with it. Either way, I would personally enjoy it if walking past a node didn't bust my iPhone browsing, as I do it multiple times a day at work, often with my phone in hand. /selfish -- Michael Weinberg President Personal Telco Project, Inc.
