Freerunner to bring Wi-Fi to "digitally remote"
A new free public Wi-Fi network has launched in the UK that aims to enable consumers to get free broadband access in "underserved and digitally remote" areas of the UK's suburbs by installing free to use access points in public and commercial venues of any size.
So how does it work?
The service, provides free broadband access to individuals by installing free to use access points in public and commercial venues. Freerunner can be installed in community-oriented venues, such as public spaces, libraries, transport hubs, community centres and schools will receive the service completely free of charge.
In commercial venues, free access will be funded by the venue - but at supposedly a third of current costs from other operators like the cloud, T-Mobile and BT Openzone.
