Free Wi-fi @ Rockwell but?

Thanks to WiGo, Rockwell Powerplant Mall recently became one big hotspot offering free Wi-Fi. WiGo’s other free hotspots include LKG Tower Food Odyssey and PBCOM Tower Food Patio in Makati and the National Library in Manila.The Globequest website lists nearly 100 wireless Internet zones, called WIZ, around the country.

Liza de los Reyes, WiGo chief operating officer says that the free service is aimed at the growing number of laptop users. “The need to stay online is no longer confined to the home or workplace adding that “road warriors” are a new breed of users whose lifestyles are putting a greater demand on mobility,” says Liza.

But there is a catch? Banner ads. Yup, once you are connected, a banner ad pops and remains in your screens. Close that window and you are disconnected. Maybe, a little nuisance but I think that can be managed for free a free wi-fi connection.
