    We are the UK's fastest growing public WiFi operator Business model delivers free access for consumers Unique low cost, proven technology New free Wi-Fi locations attract a additional user groups, seeing much younger people going online using hotspots mainly for a multitude of reasons (Downloading music, Facebook, Myspace, Twitter etc) For all our customers WiFi means something different. For some it’s a way to attract new customers, for others it’s a way to keep customers longer. Some use WiFi to “demo” devices and products. Some use it to communicate to their customers, to serve up offers, promotions and news, or to understand who visits them and why. Some have embraced new value added services which Freerunner has developed for WiFi, such as monitoring how much energy is being used in different parts of the venue.
