FR: Lyons tests free Wi-Fi
Following the example of Paris, Lyons has become the second city in France to experiment with free Wi-Fi.
In September this year, the city of Paris announced the launch of some 225 free Wi-Fi ‘hot spots’ where anyone can connect to internet to consult on-line information or send and receive e-mails. Now the city of Lyons has revealed that it is starting a six-month trial period of free Wi-Fi hot spots. The chosen areas include well-known public places such as the Place Louis-Pradel (near the Opera) and Place Bellecour, and the rue de la République – the main shopping and pedestrian street in the centre of the city.
