This is fantastic news! Now I don't have to buy an overpriced cup of coffee or hang around bars and bistro in order to surf the web using the free hotspots provided by the establishments. Now free WIFI comes directly into your home.....if you happen to live within the free hotspots areas.
Yesterday, Penang launched its free WIFI service with initially 26 hotspots making it the first state to have free public WIFI services . Eventually a total of 750 hotdpots will link the majority of the state to the internet and 350 by this year end.
The launchat a local hotel was attended by Penang's Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng, DCM2 Prof Dr. P.Ramasamy and Penang free WIFI Initiative head, Jeff Ooi. The service is provided by REDtone.
Current free hotspots are areas surrounding KOMTAR, Bukit Jambul, Mayang Mall, Chulia Street, Penang Road and Permatang Pauh.
