Free Wireless Internet trial
Since a couple of weeks, the City of Sydney is trialling free wireless internet in the city’s libraries:
“Visitors can now jump online at various locations thanks to a new Free Wireless Internet trial. Why not grab your laptop and drop in to Customs House, Glebe, Newtown, Ultimo or Haymarket Libraries and connect to the Internet free of charge.
Free Internet access using the library’s computers is also available. N.B: Please check the conditions of use.
Bring your own laptop and connect to the Internet free of charge!”
ZDnet has more on the story:
“With only a fortnight to go before the hotspots are switched off, a spokesperson has said that users won’t have long to wait before access becomes a permanent fixture.”
“The Council’s libraries manager added that the decision was made before the trial not to promote it heavily, as officials wanted to gauge the response of the public ahead of a permanent rollout.”
