The South Korean metropolis of Seoul would offer free wifi in outdoor spaces in a $44 million project to give residents and visitors Internet access on every street corner.
Demand for wifi is booming amid the rapid spread of smartphones and tablet computers but outdoor coverage in the South Korean capital has so far been limited. Seoul will make its network available in 10,430 parks, streets and other public places by 2015. All buses, subway trains and taxis in the city will be equipped to offer wireless Internet to passengers by the end of this year.
Wifi service is unavailable at 83 percent of outdoor areas in Seoul but it soon will be available at every street corner of the city.
