UK's first true WiMax service by Urban WiMAX

London and nine other cities are getting a new free WiMax service.
Urban WiMAX claims that the new offering is the most advanced service on offer in the capital to date and it will be available on a trial basis free of charge from April until July, when a full paid service will be launched.
Urban WiMax plans to charge between 50-70 per cent of the price of BT's SDSL prices at wholesale levels.
Urban WiMax CEO and founder, Sasha Williamson, said: "The potential for WiMax is enormous. Wireless connectivity is no longer just about Wi-Fi connections to the internet in your office meeting room or Starbucks, it’s a primary data connection, offering all the security guarantees that businesses require. WiMax was designed with security, quality and reliability at its core."
250 businesses in central London will be connected by WiMAX equipment to the internet from April and Urban WiMax has plans to roll out the service to nine other cities in the UK by 2007, if it proves successful.
