I'm posting right now from an open wireless connection in the GS Building Starbucks (at he Yeoksam station). Off the top of my head, here are the free wireless connections I've found in Seoul (all of them are at Starbucks mind you):

1) The Standard Chartered/Jeil Bank building Starbucks
2) The Coex Starbucks
3) The Kodae Starbucks that's not on campus

I suspect the new Starbucks at Technomart has an open wireless connection as well as maybe the Yongsan Space 9 building/Starbucks.

So you dont have to sign up for some funky Korean thing in order to access these? Or be a member of SK Telecom, fill out a long-assed form, and pay an additional 10,000 a month?

No, Derrek. These would be free, open wifi spots.

And as I have stated before, you are welcome to meet me any time for a beer so you can learn that I'm not Derrek. I'm sure he enjoys the publicity on here, however.

I'll be at the Transrose club in Itaewon next weekend with my boyfriend if you care to join us. Say Saturday evening at 10:30pm? You're welcome to bring "C" if she cares to go with you.

There are loads of WiFi places in Seoul and other major cities around the globe.

To add to the list...Unless they stopped it both geckos, Nashville and a few other joints on Itaewon ro have free wireless internet. I think that even Hollywood bar and grill has it.

I'm sure loads of other places do and if you have a laptop or a WiFi equipped PDA then you could probably find a load of places with free internet in Seoul and other major cities in Korea.

There are boat loads. My cooworker had his lappy fired up running net stumbler it found a whole whack. Must have been more then 20 spots.

Well we were war-driving

One probably doesn't have to pay for internet access with all the unsecure wireless networks set up all over the place.

The Coex Starbucks

All of COEX is one big, free hotspot; I've gone on-line there from various places and never had to log on to Nespot.
