VietNamNet Bridge - FPT Telecom has said that there are now 5,000 locations dotted throughout Hanoi and HCM City that are being provided with free Internet access via its WiFi systems. For the most part, the beneficiaries of the 1.5 million USD WiFi FPT Telecom programme are universities, colleges, cafes, restaurants, banks and securities companies in the countries’ two largest cities. The programme is a platform for which to eventually turn both Hanoi and HCM City into WiFi cities where the public can always be connected to the Internet. A FPT Telecom representative said that the total number of WiFi FPT Telecom Internet hotspots in Hanoi and HCM City is expected to reach 8,000 by the end of this year. The company also plans to open branches in the northern port city of Hai Phong, the northern provinces of Ha Tay and Vinh Phuc, and the southern provinces of Dong Nai, Binh Duong, Long An and Ba Ria-Vung Tau.
