Luxembourg City has started the deployment of a mesh WIFI network named HOTCITY. It’s free, as in “free beer”. It’s rather fast, too. They are deploying access points on signposts, traffic lights, etc.
As always, good intentions are somewhat countered by real life conditions. You have the access, but where can you actually sit with your laptop ? Certainly not on the sidewalks at the Luxembourg station plaza. They are overcrowded by commuters waiting for the bus. In the train station itself, perhaps ? This time the HOTCITY signal is disturbed by the P&T Wifi installed in the station itself, and this one is not free.
