A worldwide roaming agreement among four of the world's biggest wireless operators has given the Wi-Fi hotspot market a shot in the arm and users access to more than 20,000 hotspots.
UK-based BT Group; StarHub of Singapore; T-Mobile International, which operates in Austria, the Czech Republic, Germany, the Netherlands, the UK, and the U.S.; Australia's Telstra; and Telecom Italia, under the auspices of the Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA), all agreed to share hotspots--meaning that any of their customers should have instant access to the thousands of hotspots in 11 countries across the globe.
.......
All customers of the WBA member companies should in theory be able to log in at any international WBA location as if logging on to their provider's own hotspot, simply by selecting their operator from a drop-down list and sticking in their name and password.
BT Openzone UK currently charges $11 for an hour of access and nearly $18.50 for 24 hours. T-Mobile UK charges about $2.75 for 15 minutes, or about $9.20 an hour, with tariffs ranging up to 720 hours for business users, while prices in the rest of Europe are similar, depending both on which country you're in and the exchange rate.
