C is for The Cloud

Wireless network operator The Cloud was set up in 2003, and mainly rolls out networks for large businesses and local authorities. The company enjoyed some real success over the last year with contracts for blanket wi-fi coverage signed with nine UK cities, including the City of London and Birmingham.

The company has also made gains by offering low prices in return for long-term subscriptions.
