Mexico City Explores Wireless Internet

This article reports how Mexico City is exploring wireless Internet. Mexico City’s new mayor, Marcelo Ebrard, currently plans to set up hot spots throughout the city for its 8.7 million residents. Mayor Ebrard recently signed with China’s ZTE Corp. to link schools, government offices, and thousands of surveillance cameras by setting up wireless broadband hot spots. Reports announce that this project will quickly launch within months because the city government is giving it the highest priority.



I think Mexico City’s strive for high-speed wireless internet is fabulous… AMBITIOUS… but fabulous. This is actually a pretty big thing for Mexico City, because we’re talking about a city that is still struggling to provide consistent basic services including water and electricity. In some areas, these utilities are NONEXISTENT. So when we think about a city like this striving to provide wireless internet, I see a great thing.



It’s wonderful how a new mayor comes in town with a big vision. Stories like these show us how Internet technology has impacted societies all around the world. Technology will continue to move forward, and in spite of Mexico City’s struggling condition, it’s a great move to start catching up. I hope nothing but the best for Mayor Ebrard’s plans to model Mexico City in line with technological trends.
