T-Mobile, Comcast, team up:
Wi-Fi provider T-Mobile and cable and broadband seller Comcast say they’ve pooled resources to offer T-Mobile HotSpot Wi-Fi Internet service to Comcast’s nearly five million high-speed Internet customers, giving them a wireless broadband connection when they’re away from home.
Comcast customers who subscribe to the T-Mobile HotSpot service can surf the Web, check email or view streaming media at wireless broadband speeds with a Wi-Fi enabled laptop or PDA at T-Mobile HotSpot locations, they say.
T-Mobile operates the largest commercial Wi-Fi network of its kind in the US and Comcast is the nation’s largest ISP and to celebrate the alliance, which begins today, the companies are making a special introductory offer under which Comcast customers who sign up for one T-Mobile HotSpot DayPass for $9.99 will also receive a free DayPass each month at no charge through December 31, 2004.
