Didn't bother checking -- I am running ICN. ;-)

No, it's a captive portal -- that's why the mentioned NTT app would be handy.

As I said, it's only free in a sense that you don't pay money -- you are giving them your visitor mobility profile and who knows what else.

BTW, I added some information on paid WiFi, i.e, for using the DOCOMO or Softbank WiFi LTE-offloading infrastructure. That's actually attractive in Tokyo, since data volume is not limited -- and the network is really extensive.

Internet-v6, or Internat?
Captive portal? hijacked port-80?  DNSSEC tolerant?
Just curious...

Of course, you need to know where your towel is :-)
