Find out about WLANs

Where are these projects mainly located?
Why have they been created?
What groups do they serve and in what way?
Have they, and/or will they have any impact on the digital divide?

The projects are mainly located in large areas/cities that have no high speed LAN.

They have been created in some cases for free internet, but others are there to give an area internet access with a speed thats actually useful.

These projects serve all the people who can pick up the signal, meaning locals or people who are just visiting with thier nifty laptops.

These kind of large scale schemes have a large impact on the digital divide, sometimes connecting thousands to the internet.
