UK Trains Could Have Broadband before Olympics
All trains across the UK transport system would have seamless mobile broadband connectivity by 2012, if the proposals laid down in the Digital Britain report, which was released a few days back, can be turned into reality. The report has recommended plans to connect the London Underground System as well as other train networks in the UK via mobile broadband so that the country can be counted among the leaders in the digital economy.
By 2012, commuters can expect high-speed, reliable, unwavering internet connectivity inside trains. The present internet connectivity inside the Tube is slow, irregular, and patchy. Passengers have to put up with constant disconnection and weak signals. Mobile broadband will solve all these problems, the report guarantees. Commuters will be able to easily access any type of content on the internet, without any difficulty on their laptops (click for laptop deals).
The plans will be executed in time for the London Olympics of 2012, which are touted to be the most “digital” Olympics ever. Preparations for the same have already begun.
Plans for mobile broadband connectivity in London Underground trains were drawn out months ago, but due to the economic recession, they were dismissed numerous times. This time, the government has asked for a large contribution from mobile broadband providers to make the imitative a reality.
