Nintendo Australia have announced that Telstra will be opening up their wireless hotspots for Nintendo DS usage.
"This is an Australian first and is all about providing convenience through innovation, ensuring Nintendo DS users are automatically authenticated onto the Telstra Wireless Hotspot network whenever they enter a coverage zone."
The release mentions Melbourne and Sydney, but hopefully the service won't be limited to these regions. Simply allowing access at McDonalds hotspots would make a significant coverage boost. More information will be released soon at NintendoWiFi.com.au
