Wifi access on the Acropolis
People who are visiting the Acropolis in Athens in an accademic capacity, will now be able to access a Wifi network up there.
It remains to be seen how good the coverage is, and in these days of 3G and reduced intra-EU roaming charges, its less vital than it once was, but still a welcome development nonetheless.
