A series of wireless communication "hot spots" will be set up across Scotland following the opening of a mobile technology centre this week.

The first stage of the project, a £600,000 wireless innovation centre at Hillington on the western outskirts of Glasgow, will be opened by a senior Microsoft executive on Thursday.
