London will receive free WiFi, no, seriously

Free WiFi to the masses soon
Yes. FREE.


But don't go and cancel your broadband just yet! This free wi-fi is only available to you for fifteen minutes. Yup, you read right, only for fifteen minutes a day


The Cloud service bought by BSkyB at the end of January will allow anyone with a wireless device - iPhone, Blackberry, phone with WiFi, tablet or laptop - to connect up to the cloud and use 15 minutes of no-hassle free internet.


The Cloud isn't the only public WiFi network though, BT have released their Openzone which allows BT customers to use their WiFi device on their public network at a small-ish fee. O2 have released free public WiFi to the masses as well in partnership with local businesses.


Without sounding ungrateful, I do think that 15 minutes isn't much time to do anything, especially if your device is slow to load and has a small screen.


What are your opinions?
