By 2015, libraries, museums, civic centres, transport hubs, sporting complexes and many other buildings across the state will offer free WiFi to public, as part of the Government’s £150m SuperConnected Cities program.
“For business, visitors and the UK public, accessing wifi in our cities is absolutely vital. These free hotspots will be instrumental in making UK cities even more appealing as places to not only do business, but to visit as well,” said Ed Vaizey, Digital Economy Minister.

UK hopes this new approach to attract more people to these public places, while helping them stay connected with the internet.
