The open bidding for the installation and operation of at least 3,000 new spots of free wireless Internet (Wi-Fi hotspots) in municipalities across Greece will be announced by the end of February. The Greek government’s goal is to allow residents and visitors to have free access on the Internet when in central places of cities and villages such as squares, libraries, sights etc.

Most municipalities have already responded positively to the letter sent by the General Secretary for Telecommunications and Posts, Menelaos Daskalakis, indicating the suitable places for Wi-Fi hotspot installations.

Free wi-fi access across Greece via 5,000 hotspots

The General Secretariat for Telecommunications will in the next 10 days put to public consultation a plan for developing a wireless Internet access network across Greece. The aim is to implement a pledge made by Prime Minister Antonis Samaras in November that full coverage would be available by the end of this year. The secretariat aims for the consultation to be completed within 15 days and the tender to be announced by mid-April. User access will likely be restricted to 30 minutes per login.

Free Wi-Fi around Greece from fall

Free Internet access will be available across Greece as of November through a network of up to 4,000 Wi-Fi points in closed and open public spaces, Transport and Networks Minister Michalis Chrysochoidis said Wednesday.

A second phase, that will extend coverage more widely around the country including to universities, hospitals and public transport, is set to be completed by the end of 2014.
