Wizard Kiosk: Self-service Wifi

(blogging from BlueWave Mall, Macapagal Avenue, Pasay City)

Bluewave has this serve-serve Wifi kiosk provided by Wizard Kiosk. This is the 3rd public wifi service aside from Globe WiZ and Airborne Access I know of. This one though is only found and available here at the Bluewave Mall along Macapagal highway in Pasay. wifi kiosk

Basically, there’s a touch-screen kiosk located just behind Pizza Hut where you can buy wifi tickets. There are 3 access points covering the entire Bluewave area so you can access the wifi from all restaurants and shops in the mall.

I haven’t tried it though so I can’t say much about its speed but even if you don’t buy the wifi tickets, you can still logon to their portal and use the wifi to freely surf selected websites which includes Yahoo, Dogpile, WOW Philippines, CDNet Asia and Manila Bulletin.

    Interesting. Bet it’s still fantabulously priced.

    They should include webmail sites in their free access.

    But if they give free access to webmail sites, there would be no reason to pay for the ibook-toting wannabe crowd. ;) Hehe.

    Then Globe (or PLDT) could get a cut from the Adsense. Who knows, Google will offer a revenue sharing program for WiFi providers or telcos in general.

    Let’s add feed readers to the “must be free” list.

    I found a guy who did a very clever thing. He had an extra mobile phone and he was able to interface it to his DSL router at home. Now he has a cheap “wifi” anywhere as long as he has a signal.

    If you have one of those unlimited plans (SUN?) and you are a bit linux techy, maybe you could do the same.

  5. [...] There’s wifi in there too — Airborne Access and Wizard Kiosk. The place opens until 1:00AM on weekdays and until 2:30AM on week-ends. [...]
