I believe Google has already been beta testing this. Though the speeds have been a little on the slow side from what I have heard from a few friends that have been using it. The only guarentee that you will get connected at a maximum of 1mb/s. However, the actual speeds are closer to 128kb/s, but hey it is free.(And yes I mean bits not bytes.)

It is Wifi, not special equipment needed from what I have heard(this has been in beta testing already). If people can figure out how to connect to the starbuck's wireless I don't think they will have a problem with this.

My guess would be that they will bring up a page when you first connect to it, sort of how a lot of airports and hotels do it.
