11/3  Swiss Hotspots

After reading on Loïc, Joi's weblogs about debates concerning Wi-fi vs GPRS, I wanted to point to:
SWISS HOTSPOTS and to WeRoam (Zurich)

What do you need to create your own hotspot in Switzerland:
An ADSL or Cablecom connection (starting at CHF 50.– per month)
A WLAN Basestation (starting at CHF 250.–)
and naturally a Mac or PC.

What do you need to surf wireless
A labtop or PDA or your mobile with built-in wireless support.
Or else buy a PCI-Card for about CHF 100.–. When you go to the hotspot you have to know the SSID, the network name. If they give you free access, cool - else you have to buy a password.

If you know any hotspots which are not listed on here, feel free to add them.
