Microsoft is offering free wi-fi in the latest issue of Forbes magazine.
In an interesting advertising move, Microsoft is including a portable wireless router in the latest issue of Forbes magazine. The free wi-fi is good for two weeks, and included in a four-page ad in the May 6 issue of Forbes.
However, not just anyone can get their hands on one of these special issues. Mashable reports that the issues with the custom insert were sent only to a limited number of business professionals and technology professionals.
But it's still a pretty cool idea. And if you can get your hands on one of these issues of Forbes, you can enjoy free wi-fi — and a free trial of Office 365. Not bad if you're a home business owner looking to save a little cash in the next couple of weeks.
Sounds great – thanks for the heads up!
That is just crazy! Who would have thought it would be possible just a few years ago. Though it’s definitely a marketing move rather than a truly useful invention.
