Come 2007, Singaporeans will be ushering the new year with at
least 24 months, or two years, of free (basic tier) wireless
connectivity at up to 512 kbps speeds almost everywhere - thanks to
IDA's '[email protected]' programme...
With the two-year [email protected] programme, the number of public
'hotspots' will grow 5-fold from the current 900 to about 5,000.
The three operators will bump up the number of [email protected]
'hotzones' in high-traffic, public areas, such as the Central
Business District, downtown shopping belts like Orchard Road, and
HDB Town Centres, to make wireless broadband a ubiquitous access
mode by September 2007. With this, Singaporeans can truly enjoy
seamless broadband on-the-go...
The three operators are extending this two-year free offering with
unlimited usage to all residents and visitors in Singapore,
including tourists and business travellers. The sign-up details
will be made known from December 2006 by the operators...
