Eastern World countries have dominated broadband technology for many years now. Every aspect is almost flawless and second to none. On the other hand, Britain has been falling behind over the last few years and is desperate to catch up. investment has finally been promised but some may say that we are not adventurous enough. This may be about to dramatically change for the better thanks to the partnership of BT and FON.
BT may have come under a lot of criticism over the last couple of years, but, its recent announcement has definitely turned heads on a world scale.
BT FON can confidently say that they are building the World’s largest Wi-Fi community. This community will allow its members to connect for free to thousands of places around the UK and the world, by simply sharing some of their Internet connection at home. BT Broadband customers just register to the community for free while other broadband provider customers would need to buy a FON Community Wi-Fi router then register to the community.
If customers are prepared to securely share a little of their broadband, then they can take advantage of hundreds of thousands of Fon and BT Openzone hotspots worldwide free of charge. The customer will join an existing community of 500,000 members and will have access to more than 190,000 FON hotspots worldwide.
Over the last year BT Openzone has invested in bringing Britain, what are called; the 12 wireless cities. These include; Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds, Liverpool, Newcastle, Nottingham, Portsmouth, Sheffield and Westminster. The networks will provide wireless, high-speed broadband coverage which can be used for easy access to information and services in city centre locations and will be free to BT Broadband customers.
It may not offer the same speeds of the Eastern World but in terms of infrastructure and potential we definitely have something to be proud of.
