manages some 150 free access points WiFi in coffees and trade. They are used by
more than 50 000 members, who can make use of it to connect free their portable

development of WiFi networks are in hand in the great urban centres. Some, like
that planned by Philadelphia, which invested million in infrastructures, know
important failures in the financial scheme. The large companies of

there their account considering the importance of the investments necessary and
the weak price which the users are ready to spend. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

install the hotspots in parks "To make function WiFi in the park is
certainly what is most expensive under development", affirms Bruno
