hmmm.
i am not sure if the question is to be impressed. it is simply true
that some signaling is necessary to allow user to choose a network
(e.g. an operator). in usual hotspots you end up with a web page
which can present you all the information you need (e.g. prices,
names, available services, etc.) - however without any L2 security.
but in 802.1X you have to first authenticate to be able to exchange
any signaling. this is indeed insufficient e.g. for WISPs: how do you
know that your authentication will work in a particular network?
which authentication protocol should you use if it does not? what
will you pay by accessing there? which service do you get? etc. etc.
etc. all these things become terribly complicated. in fact, i've
written a paper on that about two years ago... using something like
TTLS/PEAP provides a tunnel which you can use to exchange any data
with the operator's control plane, and that prior to IP.
could you be more specific?

It sounds really cool in theory.

With WPS technology, new and existing customers can connect to your
Wi-Fi network without manual configuration of the computer or network
connection.
