Hi,
Here in Belgium there are two major Telecom company’s. On of them is Telenet. Customers who have internet service form them have also access to many wifihotspots.
That are unprotected networks. But when you request a website you are redirected to a page where you need to login so you can browse the web.
But I have noticed if you do not login you can not browse the www, but gopher, that works!
Maybe there are also other wifi service providers who have not bothered to block gopher in your country ?
