London's Westminster Council will build an enormous wireless zone for closed-circuit television (CCTV) monitoring; public access, unavailable: The project might create the world's largest wireless zone, but this won't be useful initially to its citizens, only to the monitors of the peace who observe goings on by camera day and night. They also envision connecting people to "Council services," which might include monitoring the elderly. (The British have such a penchant for "monitoring." Thank goodness, as previously reported, they now have enshrined privacy rights...which allow CCTV everywhere.)
Over at Techworld, Peter Judge reports that the network won't be connected to the Internet nor can the council offer for-fee access by law. The idea of free access doesn't appear to have come up.
