The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, promised that London will be covered with Wi-Fi networks by the Olympic Games 2012. Speaking at the conference ‘Google Zeitgeist’ in Hertfordshire Johnson stated that access points will be deployed at every lamp post and at every bus stop.

He also said that it’s only the beginning and in plans the city council is going to turn London into the technological capital of the world. He said Berners-Lee, the inventor of the Internet, was born in London that’s why «we claim paternity of the internet». He also declared that London is home for technological innovations and added that Wi-Fi London is one of the most important of all current projects.

This innovation will let people use the Internet freely not only at home but in the street as well.
