The City of London is to offer ubiquitous wireless internet access, with hardware installed in lampposts and street signs.

Internet provider The Cloud is joining with the City of London Corporation to turn the entire business area into a gigantic Wi-Fi hotspot.

This is going to change the dynamic of the mobile/wireless industry from a local perspective shortly…  very exciting.  I’m having visions of walking about the square mile with my wireless voip handset…!
