Taipei plans to make wireless Internet access available across the Taiwan capital by the end of 2005.
The network will reach almost 90 percent of the capital's population of 3 million and aims to make accessing the Internet as easy as using cellphones, a project coordinator said on Friday.
Taiwan's Q-Ware Corp., which won Taipei's tender to build the network, plans to spend US$70 million on infrastructure, setting up 15,000 to 20,000 access points around the city, according to HP, the project leader. Q-Ware will charge users for access.
Hewlett-Packard said it would work with Intel Corp., Microsoft Corp. and Cisco Systems Inc to implement the project.
