BT wants to create UK's biggest Wi-Fi hotspot group
  • IconText size Icon Icon
UK businesses of all sizes can now turn their premises into wireless broadband (Wi-Fi) hotspots, expanding the range of services they offer to customers and visitors, and potentially creating a new revenue stream, through BT Business Total Broadband initiative.  
    
For the first time in the UK, 170,000  existing BT businesses with BT Business Total Broadband can turn their BT Business Hub into a BT Openzone wireless hotspot at no cost.

This will allow anyone visiting their premises, be it an office, shop, restaurant or depot, to log on to a separate secure internet channel to check e-mail, surf the web, use internet-enabled applications and make Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) calls.

Customer research highlights that more than a quarter (28 per cent) of small businesses believe offering visitors access to telephones and desks improves relationships and ultimately, business.

Only seven per cent however, currently offer Wi-Fi. BT Business Hub owners will now be able to offer Wi-Fi access, and even opt to sell BT Openzone vouchers to allow their visitors to use the service.
