Barcelona apartments, Barcelona Hotels,

All over the city of Barcelona Wi-Fi Access Points are modernized and introduced.

If you are on a holiday in Barcelona this might be very interesting for you. No matter if your Barcelona hotel or your apartment in Barcelona has internet or not, now you can log into the internet where ever you are in the city.

It will be the biggest network of Spain with over 200 hotspots till the end of this summer, at the moment already 170 are active, and over 500 hotspots till the end of 2010.
Different places in Barcelona will be equipped with Wi-Fi, like for example, the library, cafes, the park, sports halls, the museum and other public places. All you need to use it is a laptop, iPhone, Blackberry or mobile phone with Wi-Fi.

To realize this project the city had to agree to certain limitations demanded by the Commission for the Telecommunications Market (CMT). To prevent from the use of the Wi-Fi for gambling, pornography, programme downloads and VoIP telephony, the maximum connection time per day is 60 minutes at a maximum speed of 200kbps. Because of this it won't be possible to connect to messenger chatlines but social networking sites, such as Facebook, can be accessed.

Thus, the Wi-Fi Access Points are mainly there to allow simple browsing through an internet browser like Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Internet Explorer, etc. This might be really helpful for tourists as it allows more interactive sightseeing as you can get information about the sight directly on the internet or you can search for the best rated restaurants for the district you are currently standing in.

So come to Barcelona and enjoy the Wi-Fi hotspots. Oh and don't forget to leave your tourist guide at home!
