Utrecht, 25 April 2013
Ziggo announced today that its Internet clients in areas where the company operates are to have access to almost 1 million Ziggo WifiSpots by no later than the end of August. Following the test city of Groningen, The Hague will be the second location to go live, with approximately 65,000 Ziggo WifiSpots active by 7 May. After a one-time registration, Ziggo's Internet clients will automatically have access to all available WifiSpots.
The home experience outside the home
"For many years, Ziggo clients have been using our products in the comfort of their own homes, where they have been able to fully enjoy our service offerings. We now want to provide this as a mobile experience," said Pieter Vervoort, VP Consumer Products & Innovation at Ziggo. "We want our clients to be able to use our products outside their homes and on the move. Ziggo WifiSpots provide the technical basis that makes that possible. We are currently working on several new services that will be geared to the Ziggo WifiSpots network." Vervoort added.
