Wi-fi for free and without limits in 18 areas – Il Tirreno

LIVORNO. For a tourist it is more important than a map and a thousand guides, for a citizen can however be useful in so many ways. The wi-fi is now the key to any door, often tip the balance in choosing a hotel or a restaurant. And the City of Livorno, in addition to having updated the 13 stations already present in the city, has just installed 5 more, bringing the total to 18. An important number, the result of a major investment. Because they all are free and without time limits, gigabyte and users connected at the same time.

“It is a fundamental evolution, – explains Francesca Martini, Councillor for innovation and economic development – the network is a service essential public and the duty of a municipality is to offer it to their citizens and to tourists. Besides the most lively squares are those with the wi-fi, both here and throughout the world. “

QUICK AND EASY ACCESS. The new wi-fi areas, already active, have been placed in certain key points, while also addressing the reports of tourists and to citizens’ demands: Piazza Mazzini, Piazza Giovine Italy, Central Station, Villa Maria and Villa Mimbelli. “Without even announce these new – adds the commissioner – in recent days we have seen an incredible boom in the station.” The service – managed for three years to Tiscali, the same operator of the other 13 stations – it works great, thanks to a simple and quick connection system (about 25 thousand recordings and almost 350 thousand accesses in two years, from April 2014 till today).

To enter, you must activate the wi-fi (on your smartphone, tablet, or PC) and click on the local network, so you open a screen for registering: at this point should be included some personal data, from the name to the mobile number, which will come on an instant message with a password to login. In short, in 30-40 seconds you can surf freely on the internet.

“But this procedure only serves the first time, then access will always default ‘it is the technical team guarantee of the City. “Some cities – says Martini – matching the wi-fi to a sponsor, but lengthening the timing for registration and also creating an overly invasive marketing. Instead we have chosen to offer it as a public service. “

OTHER TWO NEW. But the City, staying in technological innovation, also presented two new portals, both already online. The first is dedicated to the open data (opendata.comune.livorno.it), is constantly updated and offers all a series of public data: personal, road, cadastral … “This publication also presents an opportunity for economic development for individuals, “the councilor words. The second change concerns the updating of Aida platform

the door for online practices of businesses and professionals.

“This is the first Tuscan City – said Graziella Launaro, municipal manager of the general affairs department – to integrate with the regional system.”
