Also looks like you have to sign in with a social network? Double nope. Also looks like its an app instead of the normal connect screen, but since it's a mockup I'll give that a pass.

Thinking about it - not really all that different than the google wifi at Starbucks. Google definitely is mining some data there... how long you're connected, locations visited...

What's the full extent of the Google Wifi surveillance at Starbucks? Browser fingerprinting? Some MITM technique? It seems to bounce you through appspot.com, i.e. GAE, but I can't figure out the tracking mechanism there.

Just a thought: custom software on the ap/router that logs your mac address and anything else useful for fingerprinting that they might not get through a browser.

you can use email, so there's nothing preventing you from using [e-mail]

except if they actually verify the email doesn't bounce and you don't have a cell-data device, then you need the wifi in order to get your 10minutemail address…

A year ago, I was at Montreal Trudeau Airport waiting for my flight. I tried to connect to the Wifi, it asked for an email address and as usual I entered something in the like of [e-mail] Problem is you first get 10 minutes of wifi to go check your email. Once the email is confirmed, you get unlimited wifi.

[e-mail] is always a good bet.

I generally use [e-mail] or alternatively root@localhost.
