London may be late to the LTE party, but it's more than making up for its laggard mobile ways by bulking up its citizens' access to WiFi.

Each cab has its own SIM that affords passengers up to 7.2Mbps downloads and 2Mbps uploads, and gaining access merely requires you profess your affection for gratis internet -- the password is ilovefreewifi.
