BT To Launch Wi-Fi Broadband In UK Holiday Parks

BT (www.BT.com) has announced plans to launch Wi-Fi broadband access in a range of UK holiday and caravan parks this summer.

The announcement follows a tie up between BT Openzone and Wicoms that will see wireless broadband (Wi Fi) installed into 3 of Pontin’s holiday parks, together with 77 different camping and caravan sites and Coastfields leisure sites.

The move to give UK holiday makers Wi-Fi broadband access is down to providing extra entertainment due to this summer’s unfavourable weather.

The General Manager of BT Openzone, Chris Bruce, said, “Having the option to get online and stay entertained will provide a useful plan B if the weather does its worst, and being able to look up tourist information and hunt out local gems will make for a better trip”.

BT Broadband customers with inclusive Wi-Fi minutes in their contracts will be able to access the Wi-Fi services free of charge with their laptops.

O2 mobile broadband customers with Wi-Fi minutes in their contracts will also benefit together with O2 iPhone users.

Other users will simply need to buy a BT Openzone voucher online and pay from half a pence per minute for Wi-Fi broadband access.
