Techworld's Manek Dubash reports today on the launch of Divine Wireless, which provides access via one account to the majority of hotspots in the UK.

"Claiming to be the first of its kind, the company allows users to connect to over 15,000 hotspots -- about 90 per cent of the total -- covering hotspots run by BT Openzone, The Cloud and Surf and Sip, with others apparently in the pipeline," Dubash writes.

Service fees are charged on a per-minute basis (8p per minute) rather than a per-hour charge, making it much more cost-effective to check email quickly on the road.

"Divine said the service will soon be expanded to offer Wi-Fi access in thousands of additional locations across Europe and the USA, with more UK hotspots being added weekly," Dubash writes.
