Free wireless Internet for Hue city

The authorities of Thua Thien – Hue province has approved the plan to supply free wireless Internet service in the entire Hue city.

The plan will be practiced based on experience, learning from the similar plan that was successfully carried out in the ancient town of Hoi An.

In 2011, 22 broken phone boxes  were restored in Hue city into free phone boxes where locals and tourists can make free urgent phone calls.

In this year, Hoi An drew public attention when it became the first city in Vietnam and in Southeast Asia to offer free wireless internet in the whole city.

According to the local authorities, by the end of 2012, equipment would be installed completely in Hoi An and Cu Lao Cham Islet. By now, 50 out of the total 350 free wireless internet spots have been installed in central Hoi An.

With the free service, tourists can surf the web and check mail everywhere in the ancient town. If they want to use high speed Internet to listen to music and watch movies, they have to use internet cards supplied by the Vietnam Post and Telecommunications Group (VNPT).

After the first phase, VDC 3 will implement the second phase of the project to bring wireless internet to the remaining area in Hoi An and the surrounding area.
