Various new wireless communication protocols (Bluetooth, GPRS, GSM, WDCMA, WiFi)
New billing models for hotspot access (scratch cards, subscriptions, roaming)

Connecting to a rogue Access Point; Or accidently connecting to a private Access Point
You have to be able to connect to the network before you can authenticate, pay and then somehow go into a secure mode to use the Access Point.
Most standard way of securing Access Points is WEP, which is useless for hotspots, since you are telling everyone all the secrets (The WEP key)
You can't rely on preloaded software by a sysadmin, since this might be a roaming user.
