Wireless Street Lamps for Traffic Monitoring

RMH101 writes "The Register has a story about a UK initiative to create a country-wide wireless data network using street lamps. It's come to pass through a government initiative to monitor all cars' speed and location, all the time, everywhere. The company involved, Last Mile, are proposing an intelligent mesh of smart street lamps embedded with storage and wireless networking to create 200MBit network access across the UK, including remote areas not reachable by conventional broadband. Work is due to start this year."

It's good, despite your meaningless troll, because eventually WLAN will link the world in one giant wireless internet and we'll all die from cancer as a result of the harmful transmissions permeating the air. The human disease will be cleansed and the Final Solution carried out.

But, roads are meant for cars...a bike is a hazard on them, at least the busy ones. I think unless there is a bike lane...they shouldn't be allowed on open roads.
