\"\"The city of Arezzo<\/a> will soon host one of the first Italian municipal WiFi networks, thanks to an agreement with FON<\/a> and the involvement of its citizens, who will share their Internet connections and contribute to the roll out of the network.<\/p>\n

The municipality will install FON Hotspots in strategical locations all around the city. Citizens who want to access the network for free will have a chance to become Foneros and share their own broadband connections, expanding the coverage of the network. Citizens who won’t contribute to the network, tourists and anybody visiting the city who is not a Fonero, will still have a chance to access the Internet for free for 15 minutes (watching a 15 seconds video ad) or will be able to buy a daily pass for 3 euros.<\/p>\n

The municipality will also use the network to inform and communicate with citizens and tourists, using the welcome page of a custom built portal. FON offers a sustainable solution for municipalities that want to build a muni WiFi network with limited investment and the direct involvement of their citizens in the roll out of the network.<\/p>\n
