Hi All
Yes, here in the Cook Islands we have recently started our WiFi hotspot
service in the capital (rarotonga), to simplify the administration we
only offer prepaid access where a user will purchase prepaid cards which
have the access code printed on it. At the moment we have 4 hotspots (2
in town area + 2 resorts) and are soon to deploy additional sites
including the airport.
Pricing is based only on volume of data transferred, but accounts expire
30 days after activation. Pricing as follows (NZ dollars):
100MB $15.00
300MB $36.00
500MB $50.00
800MB $64.00
Cheers
Rob.
