Bryan Clark of The Next Web reported on the test, and Facebook confirmed it to Raymond Wong of Mashable, saying:

To help people stay connected to the friends and experiences they care about, we are rolling out a new feature that surfaces open WiFi networks associated with nearby places. The feature is currently being tested in select countries.
