Boris Johnson, mayor of London, criticized Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s plan to give children up to £700 in computer vouchers to get them online. Johnson calls it a “desperate bribe” by the Prime Minister. Instead, Johnson says that London should create a citywide Wi-Fi network: “What we need is a city where anywhere you go, you can log on, you can get on the web. They’ve done it in other parts of the world; why on earth can’t we do it? Let’s look at ways that we can improve the infrastructure in this city so that there’s wi-fi access everywhere.”
