Press release 15/9/03

BT today announced it was installing Wi-Fi in the first of its vast network
of 108,000 payphones to bring wireless broadband to the streets of Britain.
The company will have installed BT Openzone access points in 91 broadband
enabled payphones by the end of this week and more than 200 kiosks will have
the service by Christmas. BT has already proved that the technology can
endure a British winter following a successful test in a payphone kiosk last
year. The payphones deployment is an exciting development in BT's strategy
to widen the reach of wireless broadband.
