Macau’s first “WiFi Street”, extending from the Barrier Gate Plaza to the Lin Zexu Memorial Museum, was activated yesterday for a one-year trial. The project is being organised by the Macau International Industrial Technology Development Association (AIDIT).
Users can enjoy a 30-minute session of free WiFi for each log-in within the one-kilometre length of the street. The service runs 24/7 and users can log in for an unlimited number of times.
According to AIDIT President Lei Choi Hong, the initial operating expenses amount to about 2.2 million patacas, 40 percent of which was funded by the government.
