Wireless boost for British cities

Published May 18th, 2006


A BT project aims to give a dozen UK cities widespread wi-fi coverage.

The telecoms giant has signed deals with 12 councils to fit wi-fi antenna to street furniture to create broad zones where people can get untethered access to the net.

The first trials of the wi-fi zones are complete and BT aims to have the first six in use by early 2007.

People will be able to access the service using pay-as-you-go vouchers or subscribe for longer term use.
