Skype brings free New Year's Eve Wi-Fi to NYC

The VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) giant has teamed up with public Wi-Fi provider Towerstream to kindly offer free connectivity from noon on New Year's eve until noon on January 1st.

So, if you're roaming the Big Apple and see a Skype Wi-Fi network you can log-in completely gratis and send your best wishes for 2012 without struggling with the customary NYE 3G data slowdown.

If you're using an iOS device, you'll need to download the free Skype Wi-Fi app from the App Store in order to pick up the network.
