In an effort to appeal to frequent travelers to the UK, AT&T has teamed up with The Cloud to provide its data users with a free 1GB per month when visiting Britain. There’s a total of 16,000 hotspots to choose from, making sure you’ll get your Internet fix pretty much everywhere (where there’s enough people around to make for a profitable hotspot).
To access The Cloud’s network, users will have to use AT&T’s Wi-Fi International app, which is available for iOS and Android smartphones and tablets.
BSkyB-owned The Cloud continues to add venues to its Wi-Fi network, vying for the title as the UK’s biggest hotspot provider. It faces competition from BT, while even UK banks are launching their own services in their branches.
So, if you already have a data bundle in place and also happen to travel to the UK, make sure to take advantage of this freebie…

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
