The district of Neukölln to introduce free, fast public WiFi

Neukölln sets example with free, fast public WiFi for all

In an effort to promote digital inclusion and improve access to information for everyone, the Berlin district of Neukölln is set to introduce free, fast public WiFi throughout the entire district. The project, which is expected to cost around €500,000, will be funded by the district's budget and is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2023.

As part of the project, a network of WiFi hotspots will be installed in public spaces such as parks, squares, and libraries. The network will be open to everyone and will provide high-speed internet access with no data limits or registration requirements.

The project is part of Neukölln's wider efforts to promote digital literacy and access to information for all residents, regardless of their socioeconomic status. The district has already implemented a number of initiatives, such as providing free computer training courses for seniors and low-income families.

The introduction of free, fast public WiFi is a significant step towards improving digital inclusion in Neukölln. The project will provide residents and visitors with free and easy access to the internet, which can be used for everything from work and education to entertainment and social networking.

The project is also expected to have a positive impact on the local economy. By providing free WiFi access, the district is making it easier for businesses to attract and retain customers. Additionally, the project is likely to encourage people to spend more time in public spaces, which can lead to increased economic activity.
