I happen to be staying in a hotel tonight that has a wireless hotspot (amazing). Anyway I noticed on the Azure (thats their network provider) sign-in page that you could opt to listen to podcasts by The Podcast Network.

Unfortunately I hadn’t been aggregating these guys feed so I wasn’t aware what their latest news was – but its pretty cool. You can read more about it here.

I thought that $20 a month for 400MB was a little bit steep in the pricing given the number for shows that the TPN has and how big podcast files tend to be, but I guess its a start. Maybe they could reduce costs by pushing some of the data out to caches on the hotspot nodes – hrm.
