Free public wireless broadband in Singapore for 2 years

From January 2007, Singaporeans will get to enjoy free wireless broadband Internet, called Wireless@SG, in all public areas for free, for the first two years. Premium and higher access speeds will also be immediately available - but this will come at a fee.

Three operators - iCELL network, QMax Communications and SingTel - have been appointed to do this. They will carve out the island into three areas, and complete their deployment by end-September next year. The government hopes this will grow the broadband market from the current 50,000 users to about 250,000 users in two years.
