"Free handouts" my ass! Anyone who says this is just a free shit stunt should realize how good this is!

delta4s,

@EU_Commission Why not give everyone in Europe free access to (slow) mobile data?

And how do we use the "free of charge, free of data harvesting" WLAN? With proprietary systems from not-so-data-protection-loving US-Americans?
Open source should become STANDARD in the EU - at least in all public institutions! Just MAKE it happen!

Und womit nutzen wir dann das "free of charge, free of data harvesting" WLAN? Mit proprietären Systemen von gar nicht so datenschutzliebenden US-Amerikanern?
Open-Source sollte STANDARD in der EU werden - mindestens in allen öffentlichen Institutionen! Einfach mal MACHEN!

Free Wifi is great!

Is it true that you need to register to be allowed to use the service and that only special certified companies may install the access points in the towns?

@EU_Commission

I would applaud to that initiative if the constant pressure from the EU to install mass surveillance (aka "chat control") like China and Russia do wouldn't be on the top of the EU commission's agenda.

This smells like another attempt to further increase the possibilities to spy on all EU citizens.

@EU_Commission Is there a list or a map with the hot-spots ? It seems the website only list the enrolled towns.

@EU_Commission good initiative, but just 20yrs too late. These days everyone has flat-rate data plans for their phones. Better would be if e.g. in Germany you could choose a plan on a daily or at least weekly basis and are allowed to downgrade also. Currently its 24 months and upgrade only with new 24 months. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️
