Greentomatocars Equips Taxis With Free Wi-Fi, VoIP App Users Celebrate
While London may be among the cities in the world who are late to the 4G LTE game, its citizens (and VoIP users) will still have an innovative, high-speed reason to feel loved as the city preps the streets with more access to Wi-Fi. The Tube’s been acquiring hotspots in preparation for the onslaught of Olympic fans expected to use public transport, and now taxis are doing the same.
The Inquirer reports that Greentomatocars, a London minicab service, is now equipping every car in its fleet with free Wi-Fi. Each cab has its own SIM that affords cab passengers up to 7.2Mbps downloads and 2Mbps uploads.
“London has long been recognised as a hub for technological innovation”
“London has long been recognised as a hub for technological innovation. In 2008 it was named the WiFi capital of the world and in 2012 I think it would be fair to say it’s now the free WiFi capital,” said Greentomatocars founder Jonny Goldstone.
In order to gain entry to this high-speed web on wheels party, you simply need to input the aptly-chosen password — ilovefreewifi — and let yourself be enveloped by the internet and your fellow VoIP application users. At least until the cab ride ends.
