But yet this feature that could be so easily activated by accident is so far from release that they can't give any kind of a timetable or even describe how it will work, despite the fact that it has already been working. WTF AT&T?

I think the only possible explanation is that the people who devised the plan originally were so stupid they didn't realize that spoofing the user agent of an iPhone is so easy, it's a standard feature in the menus of many browsers. It didn't exactly take a hacker to bypass that system.

I'm a little concerned that these are the same people who hold my credit card information and secure my data.]]>May 12th 2008 4:20PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/05/12/atandts-bringing-free-wifi-to-the-iphone-once-it-finishes-wigg/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/05/12/atandts-bringing-free-wifi-to-the-iphone-once-it-finishes-wigg/
it might also have gone like "ok, turn it on. oh shit, look at that bandwidth! its gonna crash! turn it off, turn it off!" haha

but ya, way too easy to trick it. im sure youre right. thats the delay. working on a way to authenticate customers. why not just create a att wifi username/password?]]>May 12th 2008 11:37PM
