Precisely, they charge money for everyone else doing the work - they
provide no bandwidth, no equipment, no liability insurance etc. - all they
do is centralised authorisation.
Interestingly wnap (www.wnap.org.uk) seem to be involved, I am unsure what
they hope to gain by being associated with MyZones.
Oh yes, MyZones are currently using the same location database as Boingo -
a database which I believe was partly ripped from Consume, before it was
locked down to stop people trawling the database for commercial use.
