Thames Online is offering people in London's Westminster to Greenwich area (12KM coverage) the ability to access its new Wi-Fi hotspots free of charge until 1st April 2006:
Thames Online is offering free access to the service until April for the first 5,000 to sign up. Apparently, about 500 punters have taken the plunge so far.
The canny folks at Thames Online explained to El Reg the free scheme will give the company free testing feedback on its network. Once the trial period is over, access will cost £2.95 an hour, or £9.95 a month.Sadly, out of the free period, Wi-Fi remains quite expensive. More @
