I just saw this story on Techmeme that the BART, San Francisco and Silicon Valley's underground system, has agreed to install wifi. Now all those information addicted commuters needn't worry that they're suffering down time as they can continue surfing while they whizz around under the city.
I wonder if London Underground would ever consider something like that?

Glasgow already allows mobile phone signal on their subway system:

This "Opens the door for wider Wi-fi coverage in the Underground in future."
The Met Police have also installed a special phone system on the London Underground:

May not be too long at all before we get wi-fi on the tube.
