[idea] Mobile AP Wifi Landing page!!!!

[solidkundi]

Hi i'm a freelancing graphic designer/ web designer / anything creative....

I goto coffee shops alot and I always use Mobile AP.... works like a treat on my Vibrant w/ Froyo Rom (Axura)...and that got me wondering....

is it possible to have a landing page for my Mobile AP....basically i was hoping to make a webpage with advertisement about my "graphic design services"....

and add a button labeled "Connect".... this way the people with unlimited data plan... can offer internet to the "less fortunate" ....

and if people are interested... how about implementing paypal

your bandwith would skyrocket if lots of people in a coffee shop used your mobile ap and tmobile would throttle you before you can say "what the hell just happened?"

unlimited plans are never really unlimited when it comes to 3g

Thanks for the post OP. I had totally forgotten about Mobile AP. I had been using Barnacle to tether wirelessly. GREAT thing about Mobile AP is that my PS3 finds it and I've been connected all evening!

As far as the above quote, it will only allow up to 5 devices to be connected and also, I put a passcode on my wifi so anyone attempting to pick up my signal will have to know my passcode.

The Icon to put on one of my screens as a shortcut really helps a lot.

Thanks again!

...and the landing page changes to T-Mobile tethering notification page.

And your unlimited data plan with T-mobile is up to 5gb before they throttle you to the point where some have reported pages timing out because it's so slow.

Nice thought though.

I understand that i could be throttled down ..... I'm sure you can limit the number of devices that could be connected..... and maybe if i can restrict it to "Browsing only" .....

but my question is.....is this possible?

heres the basic outline of what i think should be featured on the app:

*landing page customizable
*option for password
*option to restrict to only browsing or only email?
*option to restrict the amount of devices that can be connected simultaneously
*integration w/ paypal ...so android owners can setup their account so they can charge for the internet service they're providing...
*referrals make commission

ofcourse this will be a project... but i'm sure we can all benefit from something like this..

Still a Great Idea

Just Googled for this idea. I agree it would be awesome. I have a little home-grown business, and when the wifi goes down at school, I'd love to use my unlimited plan on my phone to allow the class to connect to my wifi AND have then be forced to the homepage of my business first.

Still nothing? I'd love this.
