When residents of the Winslade Estate in Lewisham, South London, go online, rather than using a dial-up or ADSL connection, they use a Wi-Fi network provided by the local council. The £250,000 network was set up in 2003 using funding from the government’s New Deal for Communities programme. Today, more than 500 residents enjoy free, high-speed internet access, thanks to the Wi-Fi system.
