In a move that totally pre-empts the likes of FON and other "social hotspot" networks, BT has taken the concept of openness to a new level with the launch of a HotSpot available option at all TOTAL BROADBAND locations.

In their announcement they are actually promoting VoIP so this is a good sign for client Truphone and other VoIP on the mobile handsets.

What this means is BYE BYE MuniWireless and HELLO PUBLIC WIRELESS, a concept I have shared with friend and WiFi diva Esme Vos of MuniWireless fame. Basically what BT has done is what I suggest to a few folks years back on what the cable MSO’s should do…..darn I hate it when I’m right (again.) Steve Garrido are you remembering ?
