Hi,
News clip, that could be useful for all of us.
O2 to launch free Wi-Fi hotspot network
Taking on BT and The Cloud, the mobile operator plans to give
customers and non-customers alike access to free Wi-Fi via 15,000
hotspots around the UK

This makes me laugh - I sent back one BT router because it did not
allow you to turn off the open Wi-Fi access (luckily I had a slightly
earlier one which allowed this to be switched off).
My broadband is slow enough as it is, let alone with others tapping
into my Wi-Fi.
I wonder how many other people are actually willing to accept slower
broadband to provide these Wi-Fi hotspots to anyone passing?
I've allowed access and haven't noticed any change in speed. Having said
that, I'm in an area that has a very good connection.
Malcolm
