The government has a plan to offer free wi-fi in over 1,000 public buildings across the UK in a bid to make everything a little more accessible.
According to the Telegraph, we’ll soon have free wi-fi offered in libraries, museums, and other buildings as part of the government’s plans to turn our cities into “super connected cities”.
Oxford, London, Edinburgh, Leeds and Birmingham are just some of the places where the free wi-fi will be installed, said the report.
The Telegraph says that some free wi-fi hotspots have already gone live but the majority will offer service by March next year.
Ed Vaizey, who is the UK government’s digital economy minister, said it’s all part of a long term economic plan, to give access to businesses, visitors and the general public.
He claimed that the free hotspots will make UK cities more attractive to visitors.
Other places in the world have similar schemes but accessing the wi-fi is not necessarily a piece of cake because of high demands on services.
