Research has
shown that the vast majority of Hotspot users only need access for
20-30 minutes to check email etc, or to pass the time whilst waiting
for an appointment or journey. They are not heavy users and need
infrequent access. The 'per hour' charges levied by the existing
Hotspot providers are very high and this restricts the take up of
Wi-Fi to business people who can pass the charges on to their
company or people who are desperate for access and are willing to be
ripped off.
dSpot is a new concept, built around technology
from one of the largest Internet Service Providers and allows
customers to gain free Wireless access to the Internet.
More and more free dSpots
are becoming available at
major locations such as Cafes, Restaurants, Service Stations and
transportation hubs (Bus, Coach, Rail and Air). Once you
have registered for the service you can access any dSpot using
your Laptop or PDA (so if you have more than one computer you will need to register
each one).
Whilst accessing the dSpot you will see small
ads appearing and disappearing on your screen. These ads pay for
the service and have been chosen based upon the websites that you
visit and your physical location. Remember that
we don't know your name or anything about you personally so there
is no risk associated with this. We encourage you to click them
whenever they are of interest - many of them will be for local
retail outlets near to you and may offer sizeable discounts and
free offers!
