Yesterday’s Liberty Times had an article (in Chinese) that announced that the Taipei-wide wireless network launches in a limited capacity on 26 December, with a picture of somebody accessing the internet from a laptop on a subway platform. Access is free until end of January, but one has to register at www.wifly.com.tw.
I don’t read Chinese, so perhaps I got a bad translation. Is this accurate? Is this the m-city project: wireless access for the whole of Taipei city by December 2005? The website is clearly geared for PDA access and is only Chinese. Does it require a local ID card? Can anybody post a direct link for registering?
Anyway, I hope somebody can check this out and report back to the board later this month on speed, reliability, etc.
