RSSParis Plans to Offer Citywide Wi-Fi
By the Betanews Staff | Published July 5, 2006, 12:35 PM
The city of Paris is considering a plan that would blanket the city with wireless Internet access by the end of 2007, its Mayor Bertrand Delanoe said Tuesday. Additionally, tax breaks are planned for companies who install fiber-optic cables in the city. Paris hopes to have 80 percent of the city covered by a fiber network by the end of the decade.
Access to the wireless network would be free, and would be maintained by private companies. Access points would be located in public areas and libraries, according to the plan. The final plans will be submitted for approval next week.

I've noticed you don't seem to say anything creative in your posts. You simply deride other people and try and provoke them.
