WI-Fi Network in London should not be built
Protagonists including the Mayor propose Wi-Fi emanating from every lamp post in London. Sounds sexy but like every sexual revolution it passes most of us by whilst others end up with a nasty disease! The benefits to the overall community are not proven. 3 and 4 G phones will do everything Wi-Fi will do without the financial investment (capital and on-going) or the physical upheaval. Fast forward to the day of Wi-Fi everywhere, how will people use it? Who will sit on kerbsides in the suburbs checking their e-mails when this ability is already available on the mobile phone network through multi media smart phones? Governments should not invest in sectors when the market is satisfied.In addition, the 3% of the population that suffers from electro-magnetic sensitivity would have nowhere to hide with complete Wi-Fi coverage in London. ‘Always on’ Wi-Fi is more painful to these ignored sufferers. Home Wi-Fi and phone masts are bad enough but these can be avoided to some extent. 24-hour Wi-Fi electro-magnetic smog will be a constant headache.A Wi-Fi network covering the whole of London should not be built.
