Cheap WiFi In Europe?!?
Could it be? Following yet another story about problems with European WiFi could it be that BT is getting the message? It looks like they're at least trying to copy a bit of SBC's plan to use cheap WiFi to keep DSL customers. While SBC will now charge $3/month for DSL customers to use their WiFi network, BT is going to experiment with a £1 per month fee for a few months. After that, it will move up to £5 per month -- which certain beats the £6 per hour they like to charge now.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
