BT to UK customers: Share your WiFi... please!
- mdemare 19y agoBut that's a brilliant idea! It makes complete sense! There must be a catch - are they going to block Skype? Throttle bandwidth (or more deviously - increase latency) to prevent viable VoIP? Because WIFI everywhere is death to the telecom industry.
- akardell 19y agoSmart move on BT's part. Makes for an easy way to further monetize existing bandwidth and increase the value of their Wi-Fi network by adding more hotspots for little cost.
- juanpablo 19y agoIs not a BK idea but FON's (http://www.fon.com http://www.fon.com), an Ubuntu-like WiFi movement/business that already has the support of Google, Skype, Sequoia Capital and others. And I think that, yes, the secret plan it is to overthrown the telcos oligopoly.
- willphipps 19y agoGood idea. I know so many people who have to wait weeks for broadband after just moving into a place - with this they could legally use their neighbours connections...sweet.
