BT Bundles Wi-Fi into Broadband Access

BT will begin offering a new "Broadband Traveler" residential service package that includes ADSL, home networking and public Wi-Fi access. The company said the new service marks a significant step forward for its plan to boost awareness and use of Wi-Fi in the UK. BT customers now have access to 1,155 Wi-Fi sites nationwide, meaning BT is on track to beat its target of 4,000 hotspots by June 2004. Users of the Broadband Traveler package will receive BT Openzone access free for the first 3 months. After this, the BT Openzone service is charged on a pence per minute basis.
