"Following a successful trial of wi-fi technology at Charing Cross Tube station, London Underground is inviting telecoms companies to tender for wi-fi provision at up to 120 stations across the network by June 2012.

A contract will be awarded to the chosen bidder by the end of 2011, which could mean that passengers will be able to log on to the internet from their laptops or mobile devices at stations before the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

The trial at Charing Cross Tube station, which began in November 2010, tested how the wi-fi service worked and also looked at passenger reactions over several months. It was carried out with BT Openzone and was met with enthusiasm by passengers."

I think this is great news, but I hope it doesn't slow down the roll out of proper 3G mobile data services.

I'd rather TfL spent time on trying to get the trains running properly, providing the basics of some service and left peripherals until they are better at the basics!
