Comcast teamed with Liberty Global in a partnership that would give many Comcast Xfinity and Liberty Global Internet customers access to millions of new Wi-Fi access points in various countries by next year. Comcast has more than 3 million Xfinity Wi-Fi hot spots in the U.S., and Liberty Global has more than 2.5 million Wi-Fi home spots in Belgium, the Netherlands, Ireland, and other European countries, Comcast said Thursday in a news release (http://bit.ly/1wjrrq4). The agreement gives many of the 11 million Americans visiting Europe each year, and the 12 million Europeans visiting the U.S. each year, a free alternative to cellular data roaming, it said.
