My understanding was that BW intended to introduce Wifi access at several sites, including the Glos Docks and Saul, but not free. BW SW were to have been the first of the regions to introduce it. I recall asking Ian Jarvis if the other regions would be using the same provided, and was told "yes, he hoped so". The roll-out appears to have come to a halt, or more accurately not started, a victim of cuts or inaction. I've not found a free access point in the Docks for some while, and the ones which were there were only unsecured private ones. Why not come to the next IWA Glos & Hereford Branch AGM on 5 March in the GYC, and ask John Ward what's going on?
