Wireless as it should be: an incentive

BT OpenzoneSo, here I am sat in the historic Maid's Head hotel in central Norwich, making use of the free wireless networking on offer as a result of BTOpenzone's free wireless week (which I heard of via a tip-off on the ALUG mailing list).

I haven't been to the bar in this hotel in about 2 years. It's a nice enough place, but there's been no reason to before as it's a little out of the way compared to my usual stomping ground. The advent of wireless makes this place suddenly a contender again - a great place for business meetings, a good refuge to do a quick email check as I pass through Norwich, etc.

On Monday, BT will go back to their ludicrous pricing scheme for Openzone, and I'll probably not come back for another couple of years. I hope this gives the owners food for thought.
