Mayor wants to make London a Wi-Fi city

02 October 2008

Boris Johnson has announced that he wants to make London "a Wi-Fi city".

The mayor of London has said he would prefer this strategy to the prime minister's new scheme to give schoolchildren vouchers for computers in order to help them get online, the BBC reports.

Speaking about Gordon Brown's initiative, he added it sounded "a bit like a desperate bribe".

Mr Johnson told BBC London 94.9 there was a case for "dealing" with "information-technology poor" people and to "help people get online".

"[But] what we need is a city where anywhere you go, you can log on, you can get on the web," he added.

"They've done it in other parts of the world; why on earth can't we do it?."

Tony Neate, managing director of Get Safe Online, has said that fake internet pop-ups are getting "very sophisticated" and it can now be "very difficult " to identify them.
