Free Internet in Public Places

Starting 2007, the public will treated to free speeds of up to 512 kilobits per second in public areas such as the Central Business District, the main shooping street Orchard Road and public housing town centres all over the island. This will enable people to log on to the internet without a fixed cable connection. The number of wireless hot spots in Singapore will increase fivefold from 900 to 5,000.
With boardband internet access available at so many places. the number of "on-the-go" surfers os expected to shoot up from today's 50,000 to 250,000 within two years. This offer will last for at least two years and serves as a push to bridge the digital divide and for all Singaporeans to become part of the digital age (from: experiencesingapore.
