WBA Open Roaming WiFi networks with EE SIM and/or BT WiFi?

Hi,

I am going to visit Canary Wharf later this month, and have found online that there is a new WiFi trial there.

It is a trial "WBA Open Roaming" network.

This is a new WiFi standard with the goal of a single login working for any WiFi network.

From the Wireless broadbnd alliance website, it lists BT as a member. It says that identity providers are often mobile networks or device manufacturers.

Does this mean that EE will act as an IDP for accessing these new type of networks? Or do I have to download a separate setup profile?

Or, would my BT WiFi account that I get through BT broadband let me connect?

Hi @LegendusMaximus

Welcome to the community.

I can't find any information on this at the moment. Your question may better be directed towards BT directly.
