Bangkok offers free Wi-Fi service at 15,000 hotspots

The city of Bangkok wants people to stop driving around and start using the Internet more often to communicate and get work done. So they are offering free Wi-Fi access at 15,000 hotspots in the city. There’s a caveat: the speed is basically dial-up (64 Kbps) so one could send and receive email, and do basic Web surfing but that’s it. This is the first time I’ve heard of a city urging people to cut back on petrol use by telecommuting.
