One time at a trade-show/conference I set up a few APs that appeared to offer free wi-fi. It was a walled garden with a custom DNS set up so that any attempt to browse the Internet resulted in a beautiful web page extolling our start-up, products and proving directions to our booth.

Overall I'd have to guess it had a mixed effect - maybe half the people thought it was clever and half were irritated that they didn't really get free wi-fi.
