Square Mile transformed into hot spot-Business-Industry Sectors-Technology-TimesOnline

The Square Mile today became one big hot spot, as Europe’s most advanced wi-fi network was switched on across the City of London.

Large-scale wi-fi networks appear set to become a standard feature of big cities in the next few years. Eight in the UK, including Birmingham, Cardiff and Glasgow, are already working with BT’s Wireless Cities programme, under which BT will roll out paid-for wi-fi services.

The are also plans for large municipal free wi-fi projects – including one to cover all of Greater Manchester – inspired by similar programmes in San Francisco, Seattle and Amsterdam, which provide free internet access across large urban areas.

Milton Keynes, Norwich and Leicester Square in London have free wi-fi systems in place.
