Norwich pioneers free city wi-fi

[james]

This is the first I have heard about this?!

Norwich is pioneering a free wi-fi project which covers three sectors of the UK city and its centre.

The £1.1m, 18-month pilot has been live for three weeks and is backed by the East of England Development Agency.

Paul Adams, from Norfolk county council said: "It allows people to see the benefit of wireless technology.".....

.....More than 200 antennas are positioned around the city, mainly on lampposts, creating blanket wi-fi coverage.

The city is one giant hotspot, utilising a mesh network which means users can get seamless internet access as they wander the streets.

We may now see Starbucks populated by middle aged men looking at questionable porn whilst sipping their lattes.
