"Look at this man. Just look at him. Isn't it obvious that Boris Johnson gets what Boris Johnson wants? In case you've been misinformed about the power this man's wishes hold, you should know that he's well on his way to establishing the first muni-fi project to actually work -- or so he hopes. By and large, every attempt to sprinkle WiFi onto entire US cities has fallen short in one way or another, but London has a motivator that no American borough ever did: the 2012 Olympics. Boris' plan is to blanket all of London in WiFi prior to the opening ceremony, with \"every lamppost and every bus stop\" having a router or repeater in it. The scheme is part of a larger plan to make London the \"technology capital of the world,\" but unfortunately, your hopes of connecting for free may be dashed. According to the London Evening Standard, \"no details of pricing have been given,\" and we get the impression that those in charge of the rollout would've jumped at the chance to gloat about its free-ness if that were indeed the case. But then again, who are we to question the might of London's Mayor?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
