BT is forging ahead with its plans for wireless broadband access, pitting
the technology against third generation mobile networks.
It has announced deals with Hilton Hotels, the BAA and Welcome Break which
will extend the number of wireless hotspots available to users.

A total of 27 new sites will be opened at Welcome Break service stations,
while 36 Hilton hotels will offer hotspots in their lobbies. Business
travellers will also be able to log on at Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted and
Aberdeen airports.

BT plans to have 400 wireless hotspots up and running in hotels, airports
and motorway service stations around the UK by the summer.

But it is not cheap. A monthly fee for unlimited access costs £85,
with 24
hours access costing £15.
