AMD To Offer Free Hotspots?

from the take-that,-Intel... dept

While Intel has spent a ton of money promoting the "Centrino" brand, and trying to have it overshadow the WiFi brand for wireless, it appears that AMD is going to fight back. They've been quietly rolling out a network of free hotspots. Actually, it sounds like they've simply been partnering with locations that are offering free hotspots, and getting them to display an AMD logo. This is something of a sneaky way to undermine Intel's "Centrino compatible" marketing campaign, where they had hotspots posting stickers about Centrino. Of course, I still wonder how many people really care if the the hotspot works with Centrino or AMD or if it just works (and is free).
