Virgin Media has been chosen to provide wireless across 120 stations; it will install Wi-Fi in 80 stations in July in time for the games and will be free over some of the summer season. Afterward, it will be made available to Virgin Media’s broadband and mobile customers and on a pay-as-you-go basis.
This is Virgin Media’s first stab at out-of-home Wi-Fi and winning the account is a coup for the telecoms company.
