News : Technology - Future of Wireless in London ... Whilst I can see the advantage of WiFi in City of London, how much are businesses going to benefit from this in a fast-paced environment where workers are often tied to their desk, not to mention alot the bigger organisations now located in Docklands. A business model is yet to be defined as to who the real users and application usuage.
Silicon.com reports that The City of London has taken the wraps off an ambitious project that will see the Square Mile entirely connected by wi-fi access. For City workers and tourists alike, the project will mean continuous wi-fi access from an area stretching from Blackfriars Bridge to the Fann Street Wildlife Garden and Liverpool Street station. The City wi-fi project will be a five-year collaboration between the Corporation of London and The Cloud. The network will start rolling out in the next few weeks, and will all but cover the area within six months using some 150 base stations.
