[WSIS CS-Plenary] wifi? snail?

[Marouen MRAIHI]

What I know is that not only Wifi will be provided gratis on the Kram
PalExpo but even 3G (I'm not sure if it's UMTS).  Also 1000 free
access Computers will be ready for public use (Windows and Linux
operated) and internet access points for laptops wired access. I'm
sure that wireless cards will be provided (for renting or for
purshase) like in PC1.

Palexpo have to be ready before the end of this month. So no need to hurry.

Wifi in hotels  is depending on the hotels level. Almost 100% of 5*
hotels in Tunis are providing wifi and internet plugs in rooms. Not
sure of Hammamet. You need to call your hotel to check that.
