Swisscoms Faster Wi-Fi Deployment
Posted: 26th Jun, 2003 By: MarkJ
Swisscom Eurospot, which recently took over the UK operations of wireless group Megabeam, has spoken of its plans to accelerate the European rollout of broadband wireless Internet access services:
Currently, Swisscom Eurospot has 200 hot spots up and running across Europe, with another 500 sites signed up. "We're looking to double the number of contracted sites this year, to 1,000," Brown explained.
Most commercial Wi-Fi hot spots are sited at hotels, conference centres, coffee shops and transport hubs. Brown said that Swisscom Eurospot could widen the range of locations, in an attempt to offer a more compelling service for business travellers.
"We may start looking at places that don't fit today's profile of a likely hot spot site -- golf clubs, for example," Brown suggested
It remains to be seen whether the reality can live up to the operators grand expectations. More @ ZDNet.
