A hotspot is a location that offers Internet access over Wi-Fi through the use of a router. Public establishments, such as coffee shops, have 'free-to-access' hotspots for their customers all over the world.
Hotspots can be found using crowdsourced online mapping databases - allowing mobile applications to use this data to provide location-based hotspot finding. Most large establishments provide a free wireless network infrastructure throughout franchises and brands.

Origin - 'hot' as a metaphorical use, 'spot' as a known/identifiable location.

hotspot beggar 

A person, regardless of age, race or gender that often compulsively asks for WiFi or another internet connection in a situation where there is no WiFi or if the WiFi is corrupt/blocked (for example school or work WiFi) in order to access blocked sites, play online games or even stream videos. Can often be annoying and a leech. They are portrayed as your 'friend' before you realise the damage done from them downloading many gigabytes of games/videos when they should have done it at home.
Hotspot Beggar: Can I have your hotspot, please?
Me: No.
HB: Please?
Me: No.
HB: You're dogging the boys.
Me: I have the right to say no.
HB: PLEASSSSSEEEEE??????
Me: *walks away*
