The Spanish owned operator will open up free Wi-Fi access to all internet users including customers not with O2 through partnerships with restaurants shops and high street retailers across the UK. [more] How trustworthy is a FREE network like they are offering? I would think because its "FREE" that justifies them watching everything you do.. (Email sent,etc) Theres usually always a catch with FREE stuff (Its not as good as it seems)
