Following a successful trial at the Charing Cross tube station, Transport for London (UK) is inviting telecom companies to submit proposals to install WiFi at up to 120 stations. TfL’s goal is to have a system in place before the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. “The rollout of WiFi technology across the platforms and public areas of our Tube stations will finally allow Londoners to use mobile devices to pick up their emails, access social media sites and stay in touch with the world above while they traverse our subterranean transport network,” said Mayor of London Boris Johnson in a statement. “We are inviting companies to bid to do this before next June, which would mean that even Londoners going underground will be able to keep up to date with the British medal tally at the 2012 Games.”
