Soho, London to get blanket wifi

The Register report on Westminster council offering a wifi service in Soho. Initially it will be for council workers only, but will become a payfor service for public usage later in the year. Quite cool and an interesting wrinkle on the starbucks, you can use it in our cafes option. Being able to use it in public places, like parks and in other shops will be great and I'd definitely consider paying, despite thinking consume.net is a great idea. London is quite a disparate place and getting reasonably consistent coverage in central London for a flatfee per month would be great. Single venues even bundled together are to widespread, free access is great but patchy, blanket local area sounds cool.
