London Tube Stations Finally Get Wi-Fi

Posted by samzenpus on Thursday June 7, 2012 @07:07PM from the expanding-the-net dept.

judgecorp writes "After trials, Wi-Fi in the London Underground has gone live in two stations (Warren Street and King's Cross), with plans to fit 80 stations out before the Olympics, which are now only a few weeks away. From the article: '“Our new Wi-Fi service is a fantastic deal for Londoners, with live travel updates, entertainment and news freely available to everyone while they are on the move across the capital,” said Gareth Powell, London Underground’s director of strategy and service development. “Wi-Fi at Tube stations will help us improve the journeys of the millions of people that use the Underground everyday at no cost to fare or tax payers.”'"

Erm if you lived in England you would know that is true. Council homes with Sky(satellite TV), A TV the same size as the wall, smartphone and a fridge full of crap food. All bought with cheap credit which the persons can't afford. Ebing jobless with 7 kids pays well.
There is a percentage of people well below the poverty line; they are really fucked and need help most.
