In July 2007, Belfast stepped into the future by becoming a wireless city or so the claims went. Telecoms giant BT hs revealed the city had joined its UK-wide Wireless City programme that enables people to communicate from laptops and associated mobile devices in city centres without the need for wires.
The rollout was welcomed by all and Billy McGivern, chair of Belfast City Centre Management, said: “A fully wireless Belfast marks our city out as a place which has embraced the future, and where visitors and citizens alike can communicate and do business using the most advanced technology available.
Belfast joins the likes of London (Westminster and Waltham Forest), Birmingham, Newcastle, Liverpool and seven other UK cities in the Wireless City programme.
BT said the programme would bring wi-fi access to a new level for businesses, residents and visitors in Belfast city centre.So has it worked? Whats if your opinion. Do you find it easy to get connected when in the city centre?
