As a follow up to a previous post in September about accessing unsecured wireless hotspots, it was a relief to see a counter story, (in some what of a 'every stupid idea has an equally opposite brilliant idea' kind of way) about BT incentivising their customers to share their wireless router.

The deal works very simply. If you open up your home wireless network to BTs roaming customers then you can have free access to its network of other hotspots around the country.

Brilliant. Nice cheap way to expand wireless coverage too for its customers.

What we need next are cross-ISP relationships like this so those of us who opted for a cable connection instead of a copper one can also benefit.

Are you listening Virgin Media Broadband team?

Have a great weekend all, and thanks for your continuing support of this blog.
