Newcastle will join Norwich and Milton Keynes in becoming a wireless city by
the middle of next year. BT will install Wireless City equipment on
existing street furniture and lamp posts in the city centre which will enable
enable people to communicate from laptops and Wi-fi enabled mobile devices.
BT will
be responsible for funding the rollout of the Wireless Cities Network with
all
development and operational costs borne entirely by the company.
"With more services being provided through the internet,
Newcastle cannot afford to be left behind as new technology to
improve access to the web becomes available."
"The Wireless Cities project puts Newcastle firmly at the forefront
of Wi-Fi access in the country. I am sure that business, consumers
and households across the city will join me in welcoming this
development and the opportunities it will bring." |
