Sort out the free car-parking (ala Trafford Centere) before putting silly schemes like this in place – oh and I would like to point out to Mr Cox that this isn’t a free “public” service – users need to subscribe to an applicable BT Openzone/BT Broadband package to actually get this!
Why would people want to ‘check their emails’ , ‘uploading large presentations and films’ or ‘watch internet TV’ on while they are shopping !!! Weird or am I getting old.
It will be good for all the youngsters who hang about in town though I suppose… it will give them something to do 🙂
