Hats off to the business brains at T-Mobile, who have hit on a take-the-money-and-scarper scheme worthy of the backstabbing wannabes from TV show The Apprentice. Fans of the show will know that offering customers value for money is a shortcut to a taxi home, so presumably Sir Alan will be applauding T-Mobile’s pricing plans for the newly introduced Wi-Fi service on Heathrow Express trains. The shuttle service between Paddington and Heathrow takes just 15 minutes from station to station - plenty of time for business travellers to hook up and answer a few key emails. But what is the minimum time you can choose to pay for, should you wish to take avail of the Wi-Fi link? Well, you have to pay for an hour, obviously.
