This is an interesting WIFI development as we can't seem to find a WIFI hotspot (paid or otherwise) when we *really* need one. In the UK, BT is turning 2500 ATM machines into paid WIFI hotspots. These ATMs are mostly located in restaurants and that means a good seat for WIFI users.
But that's not it: BT customers will be given a limited WIFI allowance that will allow them to use these hotspots. iPhone users will be given an unlimited access. The normal price is £5.88 for 1.5 hours or £9.79 for 24 hours.
If you wonder, BT does not own the ATM machines. Instead, they will pay some royalties to cashbox, the company that do own them.
