Exeter is UK’s Wi-Fi Capital
<b>In a story that is very close to my heart (I was born there), Exeter in Devon, UK has been declared the Capital of Britain’s Wi-Fi revolution in a new study by Intel to locate Britain’s technology hubs.</b>[blockquote]...and it’s over a pint that Britons are getting wireless, with more of the UK’s 3,000+ Wi-Fi hotspots located in pubs than anywhere else.
Intel’s hunt to locate Britain’s ‘Wi-Fi Capital’ analysed the number of Wi-Fi hotspots per person in towns and cities across the UK to come up with the ‘Wi-Fi League’. The research was conducted to identify just how well Britain knows its Wi-Fi, as Intel embarks on a 222 date high street tour preaching the mobile technology mantra far and wide across the country.[/blockquote]<div align=center><img src="http://www.short-media.com/images/news_images/2003/nov/wifi.jpg"><br><b>Image Courtesy of Intel</b></div>
<b>More surprisingly... London Takes 33rd Place…</b>[blockquote]Whilst London predictably has the most hotspots in the UK, second only on a global scale to New York, its huge population means that respectively it has a low per capita hotspot count, placing it 33rd in the league, just above Luton and Stafford.
“From buying a latte to enjoying a pint down the pub, Wi-Fi strongholds are springing up in the unlikeliest places as the nation gets into hotspots,” said Andrew Allison of Intel. “It is Intel’s vision to unwire Britain by 2005 and already the UK is staking a strong claim in the global wireless revolution as more Brits use more hotspots in more places all over the country.”[/blockquote]

and oi! Nowt wrong with Exeter! I was born in Devon!
Devon, nice, Exeter......blot on the landscape
sorry, i'm being a bit unfair but being a Reading footie fan I obviously have a loathing for Exeter City FC from our days in Division Two.
/me coughs.. then laughs again...
Did we ever tell ya we went to Wembley
He don't know what hes talkin about mate
(not sarcastic at all...)
So did we Mr Wise Guy, play off finals for division one '93-94, when division one was just about to become the Premiership. Unfortunately we lost and we had a 2 goal lead at half time.
We would have gone again last season if Wembley was still there, for Division One play off semi final. Instead we all had to go the Millenium Stadium which was nice.
All together now, to the tune of Day Dream Believer.
"Fvck of Mark Magee,
