A: before free wifi in all municipalities – Västerbotten Courier

A: before free wifi in all municipalities – Västerbotten Courier

The Social Democrats (S) suggests a quick investigation in the case of free connection to wireless networks (WiFi) in public places in all municipalities. The goal is for it to be in place for 2-3 years.

Some municipalities already have free wifi, but most awaiting. Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions (SKL) want to wait because the service may be illegal, may breach competition neutrality and be outside local authority.

But Mikael Damberg, group leader for S in parliament, see the free wifi as a matter of democracy, writes svd.se.

– We want the government sorts out the correct location so that we can have a rapid expansion in the municipalities. As I see there is free wifi rather to see as part of a sort of everyman’s right, he says.

Damberg do not think any operator would be knocked out of the free wireless network of streets, squares, parks and other public environments.
