Wireless@Penang Free WiFi launched

Today is a red letter day for the much awaited Penang government-initiated Penang Free WiFi service provided by the Redtone-Hotgate consortium. At the Traders Hotel in KOMTAR this afternoon, the service was finally launched officially by Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng.

Initially, there are 26 hotspots under this initiative located at KOMTAR, Bukit Jambul, Mayang Mall, Chulia Street, Penang Road and Permatang Pauh. By March next year, the consortium says that there'll be another 300 hotspots in the state and by March 2011, another 450 will be rolled out.
