Cardiff City Council has become the latest local authority to roll out its wireless network as part of its plans to become a ‘wireless city'. The council has just announced it will be working with BT to identify key areas where the network can be extended to other parts of the city centre outside the airport, the Millennium Stadium and parts of Cardiff Bay. Cardiff's inclusion in the wireless cities programme ensures that all customers – whether consumers, businesses or public sector organisations – can take advantage of the many opportunities wireless technology brings. It should also make the city a more attractive place to do business, while having the knock-on effect of attracting new industries. The move follows similar schemes with Westminster City, Waltham Forest LBC, and Birmingham, Newcastle and Liverpool city councils. Cllr Mark Stephens, the council's executive member for economic development and finance said: ‘This is very exciting news for Cardiff, and demonstrates once again how far the city has come in recent years and is now truly a world-class quality of life capital city for Wales.'
