Free Wi-Fi will increasingly penetrate the city, reaching every third city park by the end of this year, complementing plans to expand other Wi-Fi projects, a city official said.
A pilot project providing free Internet access on the metro's circle line is slated for expansion to cover all metro lines, Moscow's deputy head of information technology Andrei Belozerov said Tuesday, Interfax reported.
Moscow schools will also get an average of three Wi-Fi access points, and a pilot project has been launched providing free Wi-Fi on a bus route between Moscow and Zelenograd.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
