Horseshoe Bay has long been a hot spot for tourists and locals alike but now it’s a real hotspot — one for Wi-Fi.Bermuda beachgoers can now surf the web on their phone or tablet thanks to a new Wi-Fi hotspot set up over the weekend by Digicel and Transact.“We live in a connected world and the ability to use Wi-Fi at this world-famous beach will be well received by many visitors and locals alike,” said Wayne Caines, CEO of Digicel Bermuda.“Customers wishing to enjoy high-speed internet as they soak up the sun are now able to do easily.”The service, which is expected to be popular with both visitors and residents, is the first of its kind in Bermuda, but unlike many Wi-Fi hot spots on beaches in the US and around the world, it’s not free.Customers at the beach can log on by connecting to the internet and following the Digicel prompts and pay by credit card. Or they can buy a prepaid card at the concession stand at Horseshoe Bay. It’ll cost $2.95 for an hour, $8.95 for the whole day, or $11.95 for a full week.“We believe this will be a particularly huge convenience for tourists who may have their data turned off to avoid roaming charges, but who would still like to access the internet from their phones or tablets,” Mr Caines said. “In these times, internet access needs to be readily available and it needs to be affordable.”
