Open Wifi Milano
from July 31, 2012
at work even during the lockdown
Milan's
public wireless network is operational. About
560 hotspots have been set up by the City Council in hundreds of locations, where anyone can enjoy a
free, although limited broadband ride.
.:. Due to the Italian law - which requires hotspot administrators to monitor usage, recording who does what - accessing Open Wifi Milano requires notification of one's identity. You can either rely on a
social login or accept to receive on your
cellphone number a text message with a password. It may happen that every time you log on again you have to enter again you cellphone number and the password received.
.:. A maximum of
300 MB of traffic per day can be used. The service is currently available through
Italian telephone numbers
only.
