The Municipality of Ljubljana has launched work on a wireless broadband network which will initially cover the city centre and, by 2013, the entire municipality. The network, based on Wi-Fi technology, will provide access to the municipality's portal and limited free access to a wide range of internet services.
According to the director of the city administration Vasja Butina, the use of up-to-date IT will be a boost to the city's economy, while also provide wellbeing to its residents.
The project is being overseen by a special group, which has divided the project into three phases: providing coverage to the city centre by the end of 2009, coverage within the Ljubljana motorway ring by 2011, and coverage within the entire municipality by 2013.
The costs of the wireless network for the first phase are estimated at EUR 4.35m, said Butina, who added that it was too early to speak about the costs of the entire project.
