I once thought that PANA was the clean answer to this. Now the PANA effort has concluded, and documents have been published, but reading through them I can't tell whether PANA is in fact any kind of answer to this. It'd be nice if there was a hotspot authentication solution buried in there, somewhere.
I know nothing about PANA except that abstract to RFC 4058 says it's a generalized replacement for link-layer authentication protocols such as 802.1x. But 802.1x wifi authentication works today - see for example http://www.eduroam.org/ - though the setup effort is only worth it if you are going to be using the authenticated network(s) a lot.
