UK ISP BE Broadband Supports Freerunner Free Public WiFi Service

Posted: 23rd Dec, 2009 By: MarkJ
freerunner logoISP Be Broadband has announced that they will be supplying Freerunner, a free public Wi-Fi service, with FREE broadband for local communities that are currently without existing connections. 46 communities have been selected across the UK to receive free WiFi for a minimum of 3 years regardless of the current connectivity in the area.

Tom Williams, Head of Operations at BE Broadband, said:

"We’re proud to be part of the Freerunner missions and agree that WiFi should be more widely available. Freerunner’s attitude reminds me of what BE did for broadband when we created the first UK ADSL 2+ (24Mbps) network. Our members are more likely to hang out in independent shops and cafes, so we’re proud to hook up Freerunner communities with fast and unlimited broadband."

The communities were selected as part of a competition launched by in September 2009 by Freerunner, which we covered HERE. Freerunner is using BE Broadband alongside other technologies to connect underserved or remote communities that desperately need access to the internet.

Freerunner bases its service off open source technology and uses a distributed network architecture; no data centres and therefore no single point of failure ensuring greater reliability and low operating costs.
