Nokia trials free Wi-Fi for London

Nokia are trialing free Wi-Fi in central London from today until the end of 2011.
26 supported hotspots have been set up by the Finnish company around Victoria, Marylebone, Westminster and West End shopping areas for public use.
These high speed access points will be free and require no registration or sign-ins.

Nokia has, so far, been the largest project of this nature and the firm plans to offer a fully fledged free Wi-Fi service in 2012 if this two month trial proves a success.
