UK School sets up free Wi-Fi broadband for pupils

Around 1,000 children in the Manchester area are to get free wireless broadband access in their homes as part of school community broadband project. Communications specialist Pennine Telecom said on Monday that it has finished the first phase of the effort by Broad Oak Sports College, a state secondary school in Bury. The aim is to ensure low-income families do not miss out on e-learning and social networking by providing them with free Internet access.
