The square mile covering the city of London has had Wi-Fi  installed which will cover the entire financial district of London.

There are 127 nodes on lamp posts and other street furniture which will give internet access to 350,000 people. The project has been installed by The Cloud but is different to most municipal networks as it's not free, but the network is available through a number of providers.

One reason for using the network rather than any number which are already installed in bars and cafes is that a connection can be held between nodes, this is due to the mesh construction of the network.

The Cloud are also in the news as it is in the process of a widespread management shake-up, with it's joint founder and CEO George Polk resigning at the start of this year, but details have been kept under the carpet until now. In addition The Cloud's chief marketing officer James Saunders has also been replaced.
