It appears that Vodafone is leading this whole operation. But the company have not commented when they were enquired about this.<\/p>\n

Boris Johnson, Mayor of London, is believed to have created this project, and it is his concept. To the Sunday Telegraph he said that he had to \u201cbash heads together in the mobile phone industry\u201d in order to expand 2G and 3G network coverage in London before the commencement of the 2012 Olympics.<\/p>\n

According to the experts, this project involves offering a long transmitter through the tunnel having aerials connected to the back of train carriages. This is known as \u2018sneaky feeder technology\u2019. A similar mechanism is used for contacting the miners who were trapped during the mine disaster in Chile.<\/p>\n

With the approval of Ofcom to publish spectrum licenses, this project looks like it will commence soon. This will enable the British as well as French operators to acquire airwaves in the Channel tunnel.<\/p>\n

The length of the tunnel is 30 miles. The British network operating system has approved to cover the distance from Dover till Calais. The cost is being shared by 3 French companies namely, Bouygues, SFR and France Orange.<\/p>\n

In addition, this will also allow passengers to make telephone calls and browse the web by making use of 3G technology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
