The city council of Málaga, Spain wants to provide Wi-Fi everywhere in the city. They are working on a map of Wi-Fi hotspots in the city, which will include information about whether they are free of charge or paid. Although several companies such as JiWire and WeFi provide maps with Wi-Fi locations, they are not comprehensive. Neither are they easy to update. This is the challenge that Málaga is facing after they’ve created the map.
In addition, the city will find it difficult to get around EU regulations which prohibit governmental entities from competing with private enterprise. Prague wanted to offer Wi-Fi access, but in the end created a network that they use only for municipal purposes.
