A BBC news story says New York has announced plans to expand free wireless internet connections into Central Park and other public places across the city.
What a great idea (apart from the possibility of getting your laptop stolen if you’re not careful)! But I don’t expect London’s Royal Parks will follow suit any time soon – much as I would like to be able to sit in Greenwich Park (half a mile from my home) and blog away when the final stage of the Tour of Britain cycle race starts there on Sunday 3 September.
