Amsterdam Start-Up to Offer WiFi Internet

Amsterdam is known for many things. The atmosphere, the people and now it will be known for the city-wide Wi-Fi. According to Yahoo news, Amsterdam will soon become a series of localized “hotspots”. Now since something like this does take money, accessing this new service will not be free.

HotSpot Amsterdam launched a wireless computer network on Monday with a supercharged version of the WiFi technology that is used to turn homes, airports, hotels and cafes into Web-connected “hot spots.”

The first seven base stations are up and running, connecting historic areas that date back to the 13th century, while the entire city center will be covered by 40 to 60 antennas within three months, HotSpot Amsterdam founder Carl Harper said.
