A few weeks ago, Swindon (pop. 190,000) announced that it is rolling out citywide Wi-Fi service in partnership with Aqovia and Avity, two private companies that own shares in Digital City UK which will run the network. We have more details about the service. The network cost £1m to deploy and Digital City plans to recoup its investment by selling Wi-Fi access to residents and businesses. Prices: £8 per month for unlimited access at speeds up to 20 Mbps, but if all you do is use the network for no more than 2 hours per day, access is free of charge. The city will be using the network for services (not yet known which ones will go first, although I suspect CCTV and public safety will get priority).
