Tourists and residents will be able to access free Wi-Fi throughout the city, but will be charged for using entertainment services or when exceeding download limits.
The construction of an information technology infrastructure is essential to the city becoming a modern tourist destination.
The supply of free wifi hotspots in Hạ Long is part of a wireless installation project in Quảng Ninh province which targets to cover all townships and cities by 2015.
Hạ Long will be the second locality in Việt Nam providing free-of-charge Wi-Fi services after the central city of Hội An./.
