ISP Rutland Telecom (RT), which is a part of the UK Gigaclear company, has announced that visitors to the Market Place in rural Uppingham (Leicestershire) town will soon be able to benefit from free wireless internet ( Wi-Fi ) access.

The effort, which effectively throws out a wireless net across the centre of the town and gives everyone access to it, was conducted as part of a partnership with the local community group - Uppingham First.



The new service will be officially launched as part of an informal celebration, held at The Falcon Hotel, on Tuesday 6th December 2011. Local residents, businesses and visitors have all been invited to join for hot drinks, sweet treats with giveaways. We suspect that the hotel is going to be quite heavily booked.
