Wi-Fi At The Underground

Virgin Media has finally won the battle of providing free Wi Fi at the London Underground by the end of 2012. Wi-Fi will only be found in specific areas as it would have cost a lot of money to reconstruct the tube in order to receive internet signals. This service will only be free before the Olympics finish and then will be a pay as you go service. Virgin Media has said to start with Wi-Fi in 80 stations by the summer and then up to 120 stations by the end of 2012. Virgin Media’s CEO; Neil Berkett, said: "We'll help people make the most of the city and will continue to evolve the service, ensuring everyone can benefit from a service London will be proud of” I believe this an excellent idea as it shows how we have become so dependent on the internet for our everyday lives and it will also be very useful for travelling workers and students.
