Period. The Internet Channel is UNRELATED to, and not necessary for, online gameplay. That does cost 500 Wii Points. However, once again, you don't need the Internet Channel to play online games. For gameplay, no monthly subscription, no one-time fee, nothing. All free. Just connect to the Internet, and you're ready to play. ALL Wii online games are FREE to play online. Period.

All of the networking services are free. You do have to pay $5 if you want the actual internet channel, but the channel doesn't have anything to do with playing games online.

It costs 500 points ($5) for the internet browser now, but you don't really need it for anything unless you wanted to surf the internet on your wii.

The first one I know of is Medal of Honor 2 which has 32 player online and that has no lag at all. Makes you wonder what is keeping other companies from making more online games if it's that smooth. The internet channel (opera) is a stripped down version and is okay if you don't have a computer handy. Like the post before, it is not free (it was free for awhile after launch).

You use your wireless network. You just have to buy the Internet Channel from the Wii Shop Channel for 500 points, which you can get for about 5 bucks. Nope.
