For the moment this is untrue, in that the system in its test phase is
free to access. However, it is quite likely that they want you to read
a page or two of blurb and click OK, agreeing to give away your first
born under unspecified conditions etc. etc. Once you've done that,
they start to route your IP. So, fire up a browser and surf anywhere at
all - if the supposition is correct, you will be redirected to the
afore mentioned page.
This is how Eircom's free wireless in Dublin Airport worked (for loose
values of 'worked') so it's definitely worth a try.
