Supporting The Gadget Show’s Campaign for Free WiFi

Link: The Gadget Show Campaign for Free WiFi

This week on The Gadget Show, Jason explored a pilot scheme which supplies the city of Norwich with free WiFi internet access for its people.

A great idea, but not enough. We want to see free WiFi in every major town and city in the UK; for business, for tourism, for the future, and for anyone and everyone who relies on the internet.

If you agree, please sign up to our online campaign here, and we’ll take it all the way to the top.

Got this from viewer Jeremy who’s signed the petition. I have too.

  • Free wifi is an excellent idea and I believe all locations where the public meet ought to have this facility. Keep up the good and entertaining work!

  • I’ve been in Sharm, Egypt recently and every single little coffee shop has free wifi access. They know that their business model is selling coffee and shisha; nothing more, nothing less.

    I saw people walk up to a table, order a coffee and then get out their laptop and headset and start making VOIP calls to all their friends. It costs them exactly the price of a coffee (and don’t even get me started on the price of coffee!!!).

  • Hi Steve

    I wish coffee shops would provide free wifi in the UK. This is something we as a company try to heavily promote. http://www.letsgowifi.co.uk
