11:00AM Angus Kidman | Hotspot provider Tomizone — probably best-known to Lifehacker readers for offering free Wi-Fi to iPhone users last year — now claims to have Australia’s largest Wi-Fi network, with around 6,000 hotspots Australia-wide (up from 600 back in July) according to an analysis by Agitavi. Second place went to Telstra, with 1,450 locations. Tomizone largely relies on individuals and businesses reselling their own connection via the network, which means coverage in some areas will be patchy, but it’s a useful option to remember if you need Wi-Fi in a hurry and don’t want to leech.

12:25PM Angus Kidman | Users who buy an iPhone from Optus or Telstra will get free Wi-Fi access at those telcos’ hotspots, but what if your iPhone is jailbroken or with another carrier? Hotspot provider Tomizone is trying to tempt iPhone users by offering free access to iPhone users at its network of hotspots for three months from July 11, the iPhone launch date. Tomizone relies on individuals and businesses signing up to act as individual providers, so the current coverage map looks a bit thin (though the company claims 600 locations in Australasia). It could be a useful option if you’re out and about and don’t want to use up your download cap. Basic access prices post-deal or for laptop users are also reasonable, at $3 an hour or $4 for a day pass.[Tomizone]
