...along with being illegal. Expect a knock on the door from Ofcom
Town Halls here in Catalunia - big, medium and village - have been falling over themselves to install free WiFi for the residents. The way it works is you pop into the Town Hall with your Padro', which shows you are registered in that Community, and they give you your password. And that's it.
Why do the Town Halls do this ? Estimates of costs, the Town Hall budget for the forthcoming year, etc., on which a juicy subsidy from the government of Catalunia is allocated to each Town Hall, are based on how many residents each Town Hall has registered on the Padro' so the more names they get, the better. And free WiFi which costs the Town Halls virtually nothing, is a good bait to dangle in front of the residents' noses.
Non-residents ? They just pop along to the local bar, since they are allowed to offer free WiFi to everyone who buys a drink.....
