Facebook is testing a new WiFi hotspot service for local businesses that lets users surf the net for free if they do a Facebook check-in, CNET reports.

First noticed by developer Tom Waddington, the social network's experiment has businesses providing the Internet service in exchange for a Facebook router that will direct customers to the businesses' Facebook page after they check in.

Facebook confirmed that it's rolled out the "small test with a few local businesses," but didn't mention any names.

"When you access Facebook Wi-Fi by checking in, you are directed to your local business's Facebook Page. Some stores may also offer deals or specials when you check in," a Facebook spokesperson said.
