Capital WiFi

Amsterdam will be the first European capital that is fully covered with wifi connectivity. A startup company, HotSpot Amsterdam, has already set up seven stations and has plans to have the city fully covered in three months:

"We'll go on to cover all of Amsterdam with 125 base stations. The idea is to prove to the big boys that it can be done, and that consumers can live with a mobile phone and mobile Internet. The landline is dead," said HotSpot Amsterdam founder Carl Harper.
