They are all differet. Starbucks, Borders Books, along with some Hyatt hotels use T-Mobile (cell company) for wifi access and billing.<br />
<br />
I'm sure some use in-house developed software or a 3rd party vendor.

Does anyone know what type of a program/protocol hotels/truckstops Starbucks use to allow, bill and track WiFi access. &nbsp;I know I go into a hotel room plug in my laptop and open a browser and it automatically takes me to a &quot;enter your credit card and pay to get an access code&quot; page. <br />
thanks &nbsp;
