School buses get free Wi-Fi

The kids of today seem to have things handed to them on a plate, and they are now getting free Wi-Fi access on the school bus, possibly to keep them quiet while travelling.

The Green Bus Company, which operates the school buses in the Birmingham area, has announced that they will be providing their passengers with the free Wi-Fi service on all of their buses.

The Wi-Fi service uses the Moovbox system from Icomera.

This is essentially a 3G connection that is shared throughout the bus, which means that the connection speed is not going to be particularly spectacular if there are few users connected, but then again, it is free.
