World's largest Wi-Fi community the aim of BT and FON
Transformation of the UK’s market for wireless broadband is the bold aim of a new initiative by BT and FON.
The two firms say that their BT FON service will be the world’s largest Wi-Fi community with over 3 million consumer customers invited to join a global community of people sharing their broadband.
Every person who agrees to share a small portion of their home broadband connection, by opening up a separate, secure channel on their wireless router, will be able to share the connection of any other member. BT Total Broadband customers will also be able to use BT’s premium existing hotspot network BT Openzone, including 12 Wireless Cities.
