ICT set to unveil WiFi hotspots

The Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Ministry says it will introduce free public WiFi at 20,000 locations around Greater Bangkok starting tomorrow.

An additional 20,000 WiFi hotspots are expected by October next year, said ICT Minister Anudith Nakornthap.

The 40,000 WiFi hotspots, under ICT's fiscal budget for 2012, will have an average speed of 2 Mbps.
