British city to become wireless hotspot

from BBC NEWS Cardiff is to become the first city in the UK to offer wire-free internet coverage in central areas of the city. The technology, known as wi-fi, means people with suitably-equipped laptops will be able to surf the web or pick up emails in "hotspots" without cables. A network of 50 hotspots will operate across the city centre and in Cardiff Bay from the summer.
