11 December 2003
Wellington's Lambton Quay now has Wi-Fi access, thanks to CityLink and MediaLab South Pacific.
The continuous stretch of wireless access has been christened Wellington's "HotZone". It is claimed to be the first such zone created on a city's highest-traffic street anywhere in the world.
The project was financed with the help of a $90,000 grant from Wellington City Council. Mayor Kerry Prendergast says it will boost e-business and e-government in the capital and enable "creative" workers to keep in constant contact with others and with information sources.
The service was officially launched on Friday (5 December 2003).
