The Register's Chris Williams reports that, in spite of the U.K.'s recent panic about Wi-Fi radiation, London is now the "Wi-Fi capital of the world."

"For the first time, London has overtaken New York for hotspot numbers, according to RSA's annual survey," Williams writes. "The UK capital clocked up 7,130 Wi-Fi networks in 2007, compared to 2,747 last year. As well as seeing its crown as global financial hub float away across the Atlantic last year, the Big Apple has to contend with just 6,371 brain-frying access points."
