Three "Human Hotspots" to let you surf on the go, free

Out and about and stuck for a web connection? Then keep an eye out for Three Mobile’s “Human Hotspots”. Armed with MiFi Wi-Fi hotspots, they’re offering free mobile broadband to anyone in their vicinity.

Dressed in skin-tight white jumpsuits, it’ll be hard to miss the Human Hotspots, and, for their own safety, I urge them to avoid some of the rougher spots in Soho when they step out in london today.

Matthew Halfin, marketing manager for Three Mobile Broadband explains why they’re sending the creepy ghost ninja dudes out: “People are now using mobile internet as part of their everyday lifestyle, and we think it’s important that we’re able to support our customers by providing them with reliable and fast connectivity for wherever they want to go online”.

“Three’s 3G network was designed for the mobile internet, so we can give people the very best online experience with their mobile gadgets. This will be particularly important over the Christmas period as a third of people head online with their new mobile toys”.

The human hotspots will be lurking about in London on 19th November, Cardiff on Friday 26th November, Bristol Saturday 27th November, Nottingham Saturday 4th December, and Newcastle Saturday 11th December. We’d love to see some pics of you guys with one of these scary looking dudes, so if you spot one, grab a photo, send it in, and you might get a coveted spot in a Tech Digest gallery!
