UK Wi-Fi ISP BTOpenzone has hinted that it's keen to give its customers access to more Wi-Fi hotspots, which could mean a roaming deal with T-Mobile in the near future:
Chris Clark, BT wireless broadband chief executive, said that BT was keen to give its Wi-Fi customers access to more hot spots, and suggested that a deal with T-Mobile was imminent.
"There are only three large-scale operators in the UK: BT, The Cloud -- who we already have a deal with -- and T-Mobile," said Clark. "The other operators are important, but they are niche."
"Our focus is to get the scale operators working together," Clark said, in an interview in which he also talked about BT's Wi-Fi price cuts.T-Mobile currently has 500 hotspots, making it a viable partner, although the operator has opted not to comment. More @
