BTOpenzone ISP Cuts Wi-Fi Prices
Posted: 23rd Oct, 2003 By: MarkJ
BTs broadband wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) hotspot offering ISP, BTOpenzone, is preparing to launch new contract terms and lower service prices over the coming weeks:
The telco is creating a new corporate service with an up-front fee of £5 a month for each user, with additional charges depending on how much use is made of the Openzone network. The new contract terms will be introduced over the coming weeks.
On top of the £5 per user per month fee, companies that sign up will also be charged 5p per minute when they access the Openzone network. The new rate is better value than the £85 flat rate for any company whose employees use Wi-Fi for an average of less than one hour a day. Hughes said that typical corporate Wi-Fi users log on twice a week.
Hughes cautioned, though, that the product will only be available to firms that commit to a significant number of users-- probably in excess of 100 -- and a large number of minutes of access each month. For companies that can't make that guarantee, most of the existing subscriptions models will remain, such as BT Openzone 300, which gives users 300 minutes of Wi-Fi access per month for £20 per month per user.
The ZDNet item claims that the unlimited access product is most likely to be withdrawn. More @ ZDNet.
