Westminster Wi-Fi finally sets date

Westminster's wireless network should be started by the end of this year,
with the project planned for a late 2008 completion.
The plan is to start with a square mile across Soho and the West End with the
rest of the City of Westminster, which includes landmarks such as Buckingham
Palace, Trafalgar Square and the Houses of Parliament following later.
Council workers will be able to use the network for free, but the public
would be able to purchase connectivity, although no prices have been announced
as yet.
"It will allow council workers to carry out their daily
functions far more efficiently and at lower cost,"
"Residents will be able to securely access the local network and pay
for services and access information online, and tourists and
visitors could also access that same site for information about
tourist destinations," |

The project was first announced way back in 2004 but seems to be heading for
completion at last.
