If only this was agreed last year as WiMax is on its way..also having said that if only this was 2 years ago pre 3.5G as I dont really need Wifi anymore. That is unless I get an ipod touch! ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chrisphillers]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 4th 2007 4:11PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on BT Group hooks up with FON for widespread WiFi]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/04/bt-group-hooks-up-with-fon-for-widespread-wifi/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/04/bt-group-hooks-up-with-fon-for-widespread-wifi/</guid><description><![CDATA[There's a 3.5G?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[shaun]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 4th 2007 5:35PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on BT Group hooks up with FON for widespread WiFi]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/04/bt-group-hooks-up-with-fon-for-widespread-wifi/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/04/bt-group-hooks-up-with-fon-for-widespread-wifi/</guid><description><![CDATA[HSDPA is 3.5G]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Phil Perman]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 4th 2007 5:48PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on BT Group hooks up with FON for widespread WiFi]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/04/bt-group-hooks-up-with-fon-for-widespread-wifi/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/04/bt-group-hooks-up-with-fon-for-widespread-wifi/</guid><description><![CDATA[HSDPA is 3G.

One week later I encounter a big exciting FON login page on which non of my details work except I have to register to get my free minutes, which I can't do without connecting to the net, which I can't do.

Therefore essentially all existing BT customers will turn into BT Openzone access points.<br><br>Pretty neat huh? Bar the fact that normal BT internet is overpriced crap and the coverage will never reach anything near every street in the UK. That said, in Manchester city centre you can generally see a couple of BT homehubs at any one time in many areas (except business districts of course)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Elliot]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 5th 2007 5:35AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on BT Group hooks up with FON for widespread WiFi]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/04/bt-group-hooks-up-with-fon-for-widespread-wifi/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/04/bt-group-hooks-up-with-fon-for-widespread-wifi/</guid><description><![CDATA[Hey, fon also made an alliance of the same kind here in France. Neuf Telecom users are able to access for free any fon hotspot in the world but have in return to let others access their WiFi enabled ADSL modem.<br>That's pretty cool actually, as France has hotspots'o'plenty.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 7th 2007 2:43PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on BT Group hooks up with FON for widespread WiFi]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/04/bt-group-hooks-up-with-fon-for-widespread-wifi/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/04/bt-group-hooks-up-with-fon-for-widespread-wifi/</guid><description><![CDATA[When they launched FON in Denmark a year ago (I think) everyone got free 54G routers.

Are people going to just set up lawn chairs and card tables outside of your house in order to take advantage of your public hot spot? If the only way for those people to take advantage of your connection is to pay for their own connection at home, why are they setting up their card tables and laptops outside yours? Is this just so random people can make VoIP calls while walking past your house? What good is this in a residential neighborhood? Is this only for people that live in densely populated urban areas. Do I not understand this because I know nothing of day to day life in GB? Am I just another fat, ignorant, gun-toting, religious fanatic yank who completely misunderstands life outside of the narrow confines of my sad, meaningless life? Did I vote for Bush? Twice? To the last four questions, perhaps, yes, yes, and hell yes.<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[boriquajake]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 5th 2007 10:43AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
