Mexico City to Get Muni Wi-Fi from ZTE

Filed in archive Wi-Fi by jeff goldman on April 3, 2007

InformationWeek's W. David Gardner reports today that Mexico City links 's 8 million residents will be getting free Wi-Fi citywide by 2008 -- along with about 4,000 closed-circuit security cameras -- thanks to an agreement between the city and China's ZTE Corp.

As InformationWeek's Stephen Wellman points out, "What started out as way for a few cities like Philadelphia to bridge the digital divide has turned into a global movement. As Wi-Fi technologies have evolved -- offering faster data speeds and enhanced range -- some insiders claim that muni Wi-Fi has the potential to compete with other wireless technologies, including 3G and WiMax."

Add your response to Mexico City to Get Muni Wi-Fi from ZTE: Response from: Jan vdR (04/04/07 1:48pm) While it is certainly a big step in the right direction, to break the defacto monopoly of Telmex here in Mexico, i would love to get my hands on the actual agreement to see what ZTE got in Exchange for this deal or what they are supposed to get.... Response from: M. Waldo (04/24/07 3:47pm) Ebrard's best play (Mexico Regent), Mexico must advance faster in the internet field, i can't belive that countries like Greece or turkey provide to their citizens more wide band access than Mexico. Mexico 1 mb. access cost the same that in the United States, but the little difference is that they have 6 mb. access. I Agree about slim monopoly, but when will this end?
