170,000 wi-fi hotspots across with the country, with 5,000 in Newport alone. These hotspots are free to more than five
million BT broadband customers plus users of a myriad new technology including tablets and smartphones. Ann Beynon said: “This is fantastic news
for Wales. This huge growth in the number of hot-spots takes flexible working from home to wherever you need to be and brings the internet right to your finger tips. “Consumers are using their devices for
both work and leisure with these hot-spots making it possible to shop, work, game and enjoy a variety of applications when they are out and about. “For small businesses in Wales wi-fi
is a great low or no-cost way of working remotely, staying in touch with customers, suppliers and staff and accessing real-time travel information quickly and away from the office.” David Russ, managing director of the
South Wales Chamber of Commerce, said: “Public wi-fi provides crucial support for Wales’ small businesses. The hot-spot coverage is a positive growth enabler for these firms.”
