In the capital of Ukraine, a private company came up with a very useful initiative - it is planned to deploy a free citywide wireless Wi-Fi network with monetization by viewing ads when the user first enters.
In total, you need to install about 1000 access points, while the first is already running in the circus area. Soon, similar ones will appear in a number of central districts of Kiev, while the total cost of building the network will be $ 350,000. Advertising can not be watched by paying a fixed amount of money.
From a purely subjective point of view, such an idea seems extremely useful. Even taking into account the fact that 3G coverage is still present in major cities of Ukraine, the free service is still very, very useful in many cases - since 3G equipment is still not as widespread as Wi-Fi. Personally, I very much regretted the absence of the Internet in the car a couple of months ago, when it was urgently necessary to take a look at Yandex-Plugs so as not to spend a couple of pleasant hours in the mash.
Of course, I would like this service not to be limited only to the capital. In Donetsk - one of the largest cities of Ukraine - and so small, but the free Wi-Fi network shortly after Euro 2012 was paid for; the city could not pay for the coverage of the main street with a length of only about 3 km, considering that the amount spent was too great.
