Can the whole of London go Wi-Fi?

Mayor Boris Johnson first said that he wanted London to become "a wi-fi city", where the internet was available anywhere, in September 2008. "Let's do it, beginning in Stratford in this fantastic area of opportunity," referring to the location of the main 2012 Olympic site. During Google's Zeitgeist event in Hertfordshire, held on Tuesday, Boris Johnson once again pledged that the capital would become one huge wi-fi hotspot. He told 400 business leaders: "Tim Berners-Lee, who invented the internet, was born in London, so we claim paternity of the internet. "London is the home of technological innovation. We in City Hall are doing our best to keep up, and one of our most important projects is called wi-fi London." The mayor explained how street furniture, such as lamp posts and bus stops, could be wi-fi enabled using existing cabling.

Public Wi-Fi

Wireless hotspots are spreading across the world's cities, with blanket wi-fi zones now being rolled out in many city centres. Operators are providing wireless surfing at the touch of a button from the park, the bus or the street corner. So what does the wireless future have to offer?

Users of the new city-wide wi-fi networks will be required to pay access charges to an account provider, such as BT Openzone or T-Mobile. The revenues will be shared between the owners of the street furniture on which the equipment is installed (usually local councils), wi-fi hotspot suppliers and the internet service providers.
