Default London Overground stations to get free Wi-Fi

In message , at 11:40:14 on
Mon, 26 Mar 2012, Recliner remarked:
After the recent news about temporarily free Wi-Fi in some Underground
stations, it seems that Overground passengers will get an hour's free
Internet access with Wi-Fi hotspots at all stations on the network,
operated by BskyB-owned public Wi-Fi provider, The Cloud -- and it'll
apparently stay free.


This scheme of "Register, then get the first hour free" is reminiscent
of the earlier discussion Wetherspoons etc. No doubt they want
people to leave their smartphones switched on and pay for subsequent
hours of access.
