Brisbane council rolls out free public Wi-Fi

There may not be a wave in sight, but residents can now surf in Brisbane’s parks after the roll-out of wireless internet in public areas.

Locals and tourists will be able to access wireless internet in parks and public spaces in 20 locations, says Brisbane Lord Mayor Graham Quirk.

Brisbane City Council has allocated $2 million in this year’s budget for the internet roll-out and a further $400,000 to upgrade Wi-Fi technology in 34 of its libraries — via redwolf.newsvine.com
