Wireless Internet Finally Coming To London

andylaurence writes: "NTL has issued a statement on their site of their intentions to trial highspeed wireless Internet access in London. They don't seem to know whether it will continue after the trial, but they have stated that it will cost £25 a month (the same as their cable modems). One would assume that this will be based on an 802.11b network, and the questions will then arise as to how secure this is. Another company also seem to be pioneering wireless Internet access this month, with a trial due to start soon. Seems to me like this might just take off." Wait -- I thought London already had wireless access.

Of course, in great brittish tradition, your internet use will be monitored by the sanctioned Almightly Monarchy and if you are found doing anything naughty or contradictory to the crown, your name will be cross-referenced with your driver's license, your picture pulled from the database, your face tracked down through the public video camera/privacy invasion systems and publically humiliated and flogged.
