Vodafone plans 10,000 Wi-Fi links in Germany
John Blau (IDG News Service) writes in InfoWorld:
Tired of watching rival mobile phone operator T-Mobile International AG & Co. KG win new customers for its Wi-Fi wireless broadband service in Germany, Vodafone D2 GmbH has agreed to join forces with The Cloud Networks Ltd. to offer a competitive nationwide wireless Net offering.
Under the agreement announced Wednesday, The Cloud will offer German users Wi-Fi coverage at more than 1,000 hotspots beginning in July. Over the next four years, the operator plans to increase that number to 10,000, offering service in high-traffic areas, such as airports, train stations, hotels and cafes.
The Cloud, which is located in London, recently acquired 400 hotspots from Airnyx AG. By comparison, T-Mobile has so far launched more than 4,500 hotspots in the country.
