London Underground Mobile Phone Coverage on Tube

Pocket-lint has a story about giving cell phone access to those in London’s subway system, and while some are worried that it could create problems, I think its an interesting and convenient project.

The London Underground has said that it will press ahead with plans to install mobile phone masts underground even though many fear that doing so will provide terrorists with a new way of detonating bombs on the system.

The plans will see a system up and running by 2008.

Originally announced in March 2005, the London Underground plans on making it possible for travellers to use their mobile phones on the concourse, platform and ticket halls, and hopes that users of the network will be able to use their journey time watching television or surfing the internet.

“We know that many Londoners would like the convenience of being able to use their mobile phones at Tube stations throughout the Underground network.
