Messing around on my laptop with my wireless turned off last night I noticed my Mac had a connection. I opened the browser and I was taken to a portal page for a company called StreetNet which feature Islington councils logo. It said full web access was currently free so I clicked the button and I was online.

Unfortunately it doesn’t look like it will remain free which is a big shame. What a great step in the right direction it would be if all the London boroughs offered free wireless. Surely the costs could be covered via advertising on the main portal page that everyone has to hit to gain access.
