wifi

It's finally here, just in time for the Olympics! Transport for London (TfL) has announced which stations across the Tube and Overground network will be covered by a WiFi service.

Around 80 Tube Stations will benefit from TfL's new partnership with Virgin Media, with WiFi available in ticket halls, corridors and platforms from this summer. We'll finally be able to plan journeys (and replan when services are cancelled & delayed) and access travel news whilst in the station! (Map attached below).

There's lots of rather fantastic things happening during Social Media Week in London, and the latest addition is from the lovely folks at Skype.

To celebrate Social Media Week, they're giving away free WiFi through Skype Access, the single-click Internet access feature, in New York, San Francisco, Rome, Paris, Toronto, Sao Paulo, Hong Kong, Istanbul and most importantly London for the duration of the festival.

From 0001 GMT on the 7th February 2011 to to 2359 GMT on the 12th February 2011, Skype Access will be free to use for up to 60 minutes, so you can surf the web, send email and make free Skype-to-Skype voice and video calls at Skype Access-enabled WiFi hotspots in cafés, hotels and airports in New York, San Francisco, London, Rome, Paris, Toronto, São Paulo, Hong Kong and Istanbul.
