Are there any similar initiatives in London?

Failing that, any Londoners who are interested in starting something like this?

Not that I know of, and I don't see a major business-case for it. The UK ISP market is much better than its US counterpart (we have no Comcast, for starters) so I'm not sure there would be enough demand for a wireless ISP.

But if you have any ideas on how to make this profitable, I'm up for it. Email in my profile.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but ain't Relish (https://www1.relish.net/) a WISP?

If you guys gather around to chat let me know, I might be interested in participating as well.

They use LTE which doesn't really scale well and their reviews have been less than stellar.
