Okay, I admit to being a professional hermit. So pardon me for only lately being able to see the Blue Wave complex at the Pasay City reclamation area.

What piqued my interest the most, however, was the WiFi “vendo machine” that they had at the premises.

The Wizard Kiosk dispenses WiFi access via tickets with your username and password. Feed it paper bills and out comes your ticket. Fifty pesos will get you 38 minutes of WiFi access, which comes to about P1.33 per minute (good for 30 days). However, the cost-per-minute is bracketed so buying from P51 to P149 of access comes to just P1.00 per minute (60 days), while P150 and above comes to just P0.80 per minute (120 days). The machine is located right beside Pizza Hut.

I have yet to try out how good the signal coverage is across the Blue Wave premises. That will be my next project. But considering how much of a hermit I am, give me two or three months to do this…
