Paris, The City Of Wi-Fi?

Posted by timothy on from the catacombs-too dept.

TheMatt writes "An article at the IHT describes an effort to make Paris one big Wi-Fi hotspot. The project, with partners like RATP and Cisco, if approved, will place two or three antennae outside each of the 372 Metro stations in Paris and link them through an existing fiber network that runs through the subway tunnels. The current pilot project is centered along the route of Bus No. 38. You can sign up for access to the pilot which is free until June 30."

      One packet to rule them all,
      One packet to find them;
      One packet to bring them all,
      And in the darkness bind them.

      In the land of Paris,
      Where the shadows lie.

    Once again, you've totally changed my mind about Americans being arrogant and ignorant. Keep up the good work...hopefully one day soon the rest of the planet will get tired of your schoolyard bully mentality.
