Wireless@SG

In past few months, I think the most significant move in information industry is promoting Wireless@SG service. In the end of last year, Singtel was the first mover who introduced and created hotspot in Singapore to provide this wireless service. In a very short period, both M1 and Starhub had also made a similar move to provide wireless service for their customer. Furthermore, in this one or two year, the infrastructure will be well built and the wireless coverage will be wider.

Therefore, as a customer and consumer, what we need to concern and think about is how to fully use this service? How to generate profit through it? How to attract customer by using this service?

Some of companies had noticed the potential ability on the service, like using wireless service to receive data from security cameras on the road, so they do not need to be linked by cable and can be taken off easily.

Maybe there are some other idea can be implemented by using wireless service. For an example, using it to order food in food court; using it service to call taxi and etc.

Good idea. Can you find out what is happening in other cities with free WiFi service, as a baseline?
