Free wireless Internet for 3 years!Free Wifi for everyone? This is simply too good to be true. Singapore’s government is giving their citizen free net access, probably with some limitation but then since it is free, it should be something to cheer about. On the other hand, Singapore is one of the most dense country in the world and there bound to be so hundreds of unsecured network, all one have to do is click the connect button and surf and … wait for the police to come knocking on your door. I wonder, what happen to Google’s free wifi?

It took barely two months after Lee Hsien Loong’s announcement for the three Internet service providers to put up a spectacular show in the Little Red Dot.

Funded by the Singapore government, and operated by iCell Network, QMax Communications and SingTel, the Wireless@SG will offer free wireless Internet for the next three years.

The island-wide wireless Internet service is deployed at 600 hot spots from today. The number of hot spots is to increase to 5,000 by September next year. The service is free at 512kbps. Those who want faster access will have to pay about S$10 a month. - Jeffooi
