Thanks to O2, people who are out of home can utilize the free Wi-Fi facilities during the London 2012 Olympic Games. Piccadilly Circus, Leicester Square and Exhibition Road are three among the seven squares and shopping streets that will be able to take advantage of the free Wi-Fi facilities being offered by O2.
O2 have joined hands with Westminster City Council and the Royal borough of Kensington and Chelsea to cover the aristocratic sites of London City with free Wi-Fi connectivity. The great thing is that a person does not need to be a consumer of O2 either for mobile or broadband to avail of the free services. This programme offers free Internet connectivity to everyone and it would not cost the council, the Russian tax exile or any tax payer anything.
All one requires doing is a one-time sign up and they would by default be connected each time they are close to a Wi-Fi hotspot. This facility avoid the payment that one would have to make for 3G particularly for those who have entered the country to watch the Games from overseas as they would have to pay through their noses for roaming charges.
There are a variety of content on the Wi-Fi home page based on one’s location. High Street Kensington, Piccadilly, Exhibition Road, Trafalgar Square, Oxford Street, parliament Square, Leicester Square and regent Street would be completely ready with Wi-Fi facilities by end July. The Mayor of London and the comedy toff “You tell ‘em Boris” Boris Johnson stated that with hundreds of thousands of additional people entering London for the Games, the officials would like to make certain that they display London as the most excellent city across the globe both for work as well as for tourists. He added that the inclusion of free Wi-Fi to a few of their most preferred landmarks was essential to assist in keep up that standing.
A person could also get linked to free Wi-Fi when they were in tube hubs at any time of the day including midnights, via the Wi-Fi provided by Virgin Media in select tube platforms and ticket halls in London. The Wi-Fi provided by Virgin Media is also free for the period during the Olympic Games.
