the telecoms giant has signed deals with 12 councils to fit wi-fi antenna to street furniture to create broad zones where people can get untethered access to the net.
the first trials of the wi-fi zones are complete and bt aims to have the first six in use by early 2007.
people will be able to access the service using pay-as-you-go vouchers or subscribe for longer term use.

do you think there's some scope here for bt to offer this kind of service for "free" to existing bt broadband customers? would make quite an interesting package deal i think - sign up for bt broadband at home, and get the benefit of using your laptop on the road within cities that have wifi ap's.
