BT has marked the launch of its Windows online access app by announcing that it now has 7.5 million Wi-Fi hotspots across the globe.
The offering is available to download from the Windows Phone Store and follows on from the release of similar Wi-Fi access apps for iOS, Android and BlackBerry devices.
