Jerusalem to Become World´s First WiFi City

[Dreamer]

"Jerusalem rebuilt as a city that brings about connectivity" is a very rough translation of Psalm 122,3 - but it could be coming true, as modern-day city fathers prepare Jerusalem to become the first city in the world to enable full wireless connectivity to the internet."

you all forgot the asian cities like Tokyo and Hong Kong. Its way ahead of us when it comes to connectivity with mobility.

[Dreamer]

Yes, especially Singapore.

 

The main motivation for development of Jerusalem is rather political. For example, there is a huge multi-billion usd$ light railway project now in the city, which has a single purprose - to connect the occupied Jerusalem with other parts of it and create an impression of a united, indivisible city. The most interesting thing is that the light rail will pass in arab neighborhods but won't even have stops there. This WiFi project has probably the same goal. Everything to present Jerusalem as a unified capital of Israel, indivisable and not negotiable -- not any part of it will be given to the Palestinian.
