Wi-Fi operator The Cloud is hoping to simplify the process of connecting to its wireless broadband Hotspots with the introduction of a new automatic log-on tool (software) - '
mycloud'. Currently in beta, mycloud allows paid customers to automatically connect to any supporting
Wi-Fi Hotspots when in range:
mycloud is so easy to use - just click to download, enter the PIN code from the email we sent you and in future youll automatically be connected when youre within range of a Cloud hotspot. Theres no need to even remember your username and password!
Were doing everything we can to improve the user experience over
Wi-Fi. Today, mycloud is still in beta, but soon youll be able to use it to share your home connection securely with your friends and to connect you to all your preferred hotspots, whether they are part of The Cloud or not.
Typically some people can be confused by
Wi-Fi and anything that helps to bridge that gap of knowledge is a good thing, although we personally prefer to keep manual control over such things.
