This baffles me. How is it possible that technology surrounds us even to the point that we can access the internet on a moving vehicle? But it is possible, and it is being done by a company called Moovera Networks. Some National Express coaches and tube services are already wi-fi enabled, and the Uni-Link 20-day trial could be the start of Southampton going wireless in a big way.
Mobile technology is becoming more frequent, and this is just a taster of what technology will be like when I am finally teaching. There really is a pressing need to be a confident and effective user of new technology if we want any hope of connecting with our class children!

Wireless is wonderful! Beam me up, Scotty.
I support the free wireless move. Countries like South Korea provides free internet and wireless to all their citizens. I think this might be the case in Japan as well. Essentially, they see ICT as a way of developing their people and their economies.
We are still stuck in an age where individual profit making is the most important thing. This is why we are ripped off by organizations like BT, which controls the infrastructure, the rail networks, the electricity and water suppliers.
Exactly how competitive are they? Exactly what checks and balances are there to ensure that prices are reasonable? How exactly did Southern Water manage to get away with overcharging their customers for so long? I am still waiting for my promised rebate.
There is competition in business, which is good, but I am very dubious about the competition in these fields. ur wireless is the most expensive, and the slowest in Europe.
