I make frequent trips to US SF Bay area. I stay for about one week each
time.  Can someone recommend a good wifi hotspot wirless service that one
can enroll on a "pay as you go" so I'm not stuck to any long term contract
since I don't live in US? I use win xp and have wireless LAN on my notebook
pc.

What part of the SF Bay area?  San Franciso (city) is one of the best
connected cities.  You should have no problems finding a free open
access hot-spot in SF.

However, if you want to pay, I suggest T-Mobile, which is found at
Starbucks coffee, Borders books stores, and others.

Pay as you go is $0.10/min.  Ouch.

I think there's supposed to be free wireless along parts of University Ave.
in downtown Palo Alto (supposedly, the $5/month service in that area through
AnchorFree is now free).
