V&A WATERFRONT LAUNCHES FREE WI-FI
First it was Green Market Square, and now it’s the V&A Waterfront.
Yes, ladies and gents, we’re talking about free Wi-Fi.
We recently ran a story on Skyrove’s offering of free Wi-Fi in Green Market Square, Cape Town. Things have developed ever so slightly.
A rival company, HipZone (of Vida e Wi-Fi fame) has gone and thrown down the broadband gauntlet by hooking up visitors to the V&A Waterfront with 25MB free Wi-Fi internet access per day.
The service will be available from early June (we’re assuming that means “now”) and will continue into the foreseeable future.
Hopefully we’ll see a little tit-for-tat in the coming months in the public spaces Wi-Fi game.
Anyone feel like offering 30MBs?

Having used both Skyrove and Hipzone, i struggle to understand how they can even be compared – Hipzone is fast and free, Skyrove is slow, strangled and very limited bandwidth for free.
Great to see that the better service is winning the first of the battles!
