Well yes and no. The operator has said that it will support the billing of Wi-Fi hotspots but it won’t actually partake in the rollout of these hotspots. To me this shows a lack of dedication to the cause and an attempt to keep a finger in the pie of Wi-Fi. Vodafone have the technology, they have the infratsructure and they have the customer base. Just why wouldn’t they want to control their own hotspots? source: The Register
