No, it's completely free to access... but part of the Nintendo download service is the ability to download Channels. One of these Channels... is the Opera Browser, which SHOULD be free to download until some time in 2007. However... Opera isn't available to download yet. Nice one, Ninty.

No, you can connect through cables. Or so I heard... I haven't got one of these Nintendo Wiis yet so I can't say for sure.

You can, IF you buy one of these(which use up 1 USB Port).
^^They don't start shipping until January 2007!

Yes, the above page confirms it:

"you can use the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector to connect your Wii console to your broadband internet connection through your existing PC."
