Talks between Chinese telecoms provider Huawei and UK's operators about improving mobile phone coverage on the London Underground have broken down. The intention was to have better coverage on the tube in time for the London 2012 Olympics. Huawei had even offered to donate some of the necessary equipment, and several UK providers are believed to have already contributed several million pounds, but despite everyone’s efforts, the project has been derailed.
But putting antennas throughout the Tube's antiquated network have proved far too costly at this time. Other avenues are being explored and plans to expand wi-fi coverage on Tube stations will continue, but it seems coverage will not be in place in time for next years games.
