Microsoft wants to give the world Wi-Fi
A page advertising a Microsoft Wi-Fi service was found on the VentureBeat website. Most likely, it was published prematurely by mistake and quickly disappeared. However, this clearly foreshadowed a global wireless access service. Company officials could not completely deny the existence of such a plan, so they confirmed. However, they did not provide any details to reporters.
It's worth remembering that the idea of a global network of Wi-Fi hotspots is not new to Microsoft. The IT group has owned the Skype Communicator for several years and, in conjunction with it, offers the Skype WiFi service, which allows you to surf the Internet on the go by paying for access to public WiFi hotspots around the world with Skype Credit. . This gives you access to over 2 million hotspots worldwide, including airports, hotels, train stations and coffee shops.
Czy Microsoft WiFi is an extension of this service or something completely new, is unknown, at least officially. Also, nothing is known about possible commissions and availability of the network in individual countries. The information circulating on the web about hundreds of millions of hotspots and 130 countries around the world is just a guess. Microsoft's new idea also evokes the projects of other tech giants who want to bring the Internet to the world in various ways, such as Facebook with drones and Google with transmitter balloons.
