Stated here, Virgin Media wants to build a wifi network outdoors whilst BT and O2 will focus on indoor sites.

I wonder how it intends to cover the cost of building the network, surely people are not willing to pay for it, people want 'free' internet, they think why pay again if I have a mobile phone service and home broadband or dongle.

So it will cover streets like Strand,New Oxford Street,Tottenham Court Road,Theobalds Road,Kingsway,Cannon Street,Clerkenwell Road,Roseberry Avenue,Euston Road,Eversholt Street,Great Portland Street,Marylebone Road,Albany Street,Outer Circle?,Baker Street,Lisson Grove,Sussex Gardens,Praed Street,Edgware Road,Park Lane,Piccadilly,Shaftsbury Avenue,Charing Cross Road,Trafalgar Square,Covent Garden,Long Acre,High Holborn,Pentonville Road,Penton Rise,Caledonian Road,Upper Street,Old Street,Finsbury Square,Liverpool Street,Bishopsgate,Cheapside,Snow Hill,Ludgate Hill,Ludgate Circus,Queen Victoria Street,Victoria Street,Sloane Street and so on..........

Maybe they could give it to Virgin Broadband and Virgin Media Business customers for free just like BT Openzone and BT Fon
