Shoreditch to be a free BT Wi-Fi Hotzone
Wednesday 27 August 2008
According to reports on a website called Absolute Gadget,
BT is planning to turn the London area of Shoreditch into a free wireless broadband Hotzone by October this year - potentially supplying free broadband to 1,000 residents and businesses who have a Fon based router (a service that allows Internet connected customers to share their broadband access with other residents).
Although further details are a little scarce on the ground a spokeswoman confirmed: "Shoreditchwifi.com is working on the behalf of BT and Fon to give away free wireless routers called La Fonera+, that plug in to your ISP (internet box) at home or at work and are Free for anybody who lives or working in Shoreditch until the product launches UK wide at the end of October."
