Basically it uses Bitcoin for micropayments to access cheap WiFi. This gives users cheap WiFi and lets hotspot owners make money off of offering their WiFi to people.

I like the concept, just like micro payments to online journals, this could be a game changer...

My thoughts as well. Wifi service providers just opened the doors to bitcoin by accepting it (bitcoin) as a form of payment.
In our country there's like a payphone that you can drop a few physical coins and it will generate a slip with password for the wifi.
maybe in the future there will be one like that but accepts bitcoins instead of the physical coin.
