All roads lead to roam

All roads lead to roam - 2005 - Estates Gazette (0537) 17 September 2005, 62-64(2) .

Reports on the proposed installation of a wireless fidelity (WiFi) wireless internet network across the City of London area following Canary Wharf's lead. Explains the benefits of area-wide networks in business districts and the demand from people on the move. Sees the installation of a WiFi network in a central business district as another utility that must be provided and is expected: it is not a property play as profits are marginal, although estate managers gain some small benefit, nor a marketing play as the provision of the WiFi facility may not be directly attributed to the particular district. Describes WiFi in other central business districts in the UK and abroad.
