O2 wifi in a Subway near you!

[Anonymous]

Hey guys.

Some more great news on the O2 Wifi side.

We’ve now rolled out free O2 wifi hotspots in 1000 Subway stores across the UK and Ireland!

Now you’ll be able to sit back relax, download the latest O2 tracks playlist or even play some amazing online games whilst having your favourite sub.. for us it has to be foot long!

Here’s the details of the rollout – http://news.o2.co.uk/?press-release=free-o2-wifi-now-in-over-1000-subway-stores

Let us know what you think guys and where you think we should spread our O2 Wifi wings to next?

Thanks

Brad

It would depend on the contracts the hospitals have with their existing providers, which may exclude O2 from even making an offer.

I think perhaps the goverment would have to step in.

A good question to take to your local MP, the subject of services like this in hospitals has not been mentioned in Parliament for quite a while now.

The Nhs are ripped off in more than one way. (lets not go off topic)

I don't think we are, the question was where to get O2 Wi-Fi installed, that includes how surely?

The issue is in all the hospitals with those expensive tv / phone / internet access by the bedside the contracts will be multi year.

Look for example at the trust that cannot kick out the junk food stands until 2024 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-23896542

It would not suprise me if a minimum 10 year deal was struck.

Shame as free o2 wifi would have been good

Great choice BoB.

@Adam, that's an interesting point. I'm actually surprised that a fast food chain would have a deal with a hospital. What are your thoughts on that? I guess it would be aimed at visitors rather than patients though!
