Microsoft is secretly working on a new service named ‘Microsoft Wi-Fi’ that will provide Wi-Fi connectivity to subscribers all over the world.
According to reports, a Twitter user WalkingCat first noticed the website microsoftwifi.com on which it was mentioned ‘hassle-free Wi-Fi access around the world’, so users can be productive ‘on the go’. The same Twitter user earlier revealed Microsoft Earn on Twitter.
