Mikrotik hotspot detected as Skype Access enabled.

Fri Jul 23, 2010 9:18 am

Just noticed today that one of the new hotspots I was setting up prompts skype to offer the "Skype Access" wireless hotspot login :-/

We don't have any arrangements with Skype and I've never seen the notification before, so I was wondering if anyone else had experienced this and knew what it is in the hotspot code/login page that prompts Skype.

AFAIK it simply works off the SSID.

Looks like that there must be a patnership between skype and the hotspot provider

*groan*

I sell network services to Virtual ISPs.

The VISPs have their own SSIDs on my net.

The VISPs *could* do deals with skype, using my Net.

I'm certainly gonna get The Call one day to ask how they can do it.

How the farquahar do i charge, and code, that one ?

There's always 1 bad apple isn't there ?

The one I had setup was simply called "test-hotspot" :-/ I'll have to try some further playing around with it when I'm back at work on Monday.

Cool.

4000 'test-hotspot' ssids coming up.

Maybe Skype will get some support calls about something that has nothing to do with them.
Nice to see Instant Karma in action.
