Microsoft putting Wi-Fi into Office 365

Rebadged Skype Wi-Fi to Microsoft Wi-Fi

Microsoft is making some sweeping changes to its wi-fi set ups.


According to Techradar Redmond has changed the name of Skype Wi-Fi to Microsoft Wi-fi and is baking Wi-Fi services to Office 365 users.

Microsoft will launch a business version of the service for Office 365 Enterprise customers, allowing firms to ensure that their employees are connected .

The idea is that if you are not a business customer, the service is likely to be PAYG (pay as you go) - one similar to Skype Wi-Fi - where you can either top up online or via a scratch card.

Microsoft Wi-Fi will likely allow customers to connect to more than 10 million hotspots compared to just 2 million for the current Skype Wi-Fi service; more than 130 countries and territories are listed in Microsoft's hotspot database.

The service will soon be available on all major mobile and desktop platforms even MacOS which would be a little amusing.
