Broadband operator BT has announced that it has reached a coveted landmark of having 500,000 hotspots across the UK, a milestone BT took seven years to achieve, and that it is planning to double the count of Wi-Fi spots by the end of this year.

BT offers Wi-Fi hotspots in a wide range of public places across the length and the breadth of the nation via its Openzone network, with sites featuring the broadband hotspots include Hilton, Ramada Jarvis and Thistle hotels, along with Starbucks and Caffe Nero coffee stores.
