Free Wi-Fi in central London promotion launched

Nokia has switched on a trial of a free Wi-Fi service in central London. From November 1 until the end of 2011, the public will be able to use the high-speed service in certain parts of the city courtesy of the phone firm. If the two-month trial is deemed a success, the Finnish company plans to turn it into a fully fledged free Wi-Fi service early in 2012. The initiative is one of many that will eventually see London dotted with hotspots offering free net browsing.
