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.

If you look at some of their coverage maps for this trial NTL are actually ovvering their service across a fairly large part of Croydon from the Crystal Palace transmitter - Croydon is a telewest area!
