Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for broadcasting internet availability at a Wireless Access Point (WAP). The system is operable to process the memory to determine whether the WAP provides free internet access to wireless devices, and to generate a management frame for the WAP. The system is further operable to insert data indicating whether the WAP provides the free internet access into the management frame, and to broadcast the management frame via the WAP for receipt by wireless devices within range of the WAP.
