Under this initiative, the coverage is available in some locations and is continuously expanding. Details for the coverage availability can be obtained here. Where it is available, the bandwidth of 512 kbps is offered for free to users. This free offer is only for the period of two years (as stated in the website). The wireless access is based on the 2.4 GHz wireless LAN technology or better known as the Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi).
Putting in the word "free" in the service, I am wondering how long it would take before the shared bandwidth will be congested.
For details, check out WirelessKL.
Personally, I am wondering how this wireless project can be successfully implemented without running into some series of radio noises or channel conflicts arising from the nature of wi-fi - open band and publicly made available. Wi-fi is an open band wireless technology that was assigned to the ISM band for industrial, scientific and Medical use. It's usage does not require any licensing from the regulator, hence the sprouting of Wi-fi devices and its proliferated usage over the years since it began in 2000 - it has limited radio channels (11 to be precise) and based on the rampant usage.. I believe all the channels are fully utilized and noise and configuration conflicts may arise.
