London-based eco-friendly minicab company Greentomatocars is claiming to be the first fleet of cabs to offer full Wi-Fi to its passengers, with its 300-strong fleet all now offering a 7.2Mbps 3G hotspot for enhancing your journey home.
The fleet’s service works courtesy of a networked SIM card inside each car provided by Wireless Logic, which generates a welcome mobile hotspot in and around the vehicle. Well worth paying £5 a mile for that sort of service. It’s free to use, with the password proudly displayed inside the car, so you won’t even have to beg the driver for access.

Why not install a wireless Antenna on the top of all London Taxi’s then you could have an instant wireless network that covers all of London. Or at least all of North London, since they don’t like to go south of the river.
Good luck connecting when each cab is only in your vicinity for 2 seconds! I’m pretty sure they have this in Manchester anyway, I seem to recall getting a cab that told me I could get wifi.
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH
