- Details of the plan temporarily went live on a Microsoft webpage Tuesday, which VentureBeat captured in a screenshot before the page was wiped clean.
- The service appears to mimic Microsoft’s existing offering of Skype WiFi, a network of more than 2 million hotspots. But this latest version appears to involve a much bigger network of participating Wi-Fi providers.
- VentureBeat reports that the service will be available to existing Office 365 enterprise customers and subscribers to Microsoft’s Work and Play Bundle, which costs $149 annually.
