Visitors to the central coastal city of Da Nang will get free wi-fi access from June 2013 under a $1 million IT project funded by the World Bank.

Some 150 wi-fi stations will be installed across the city to help residents and tourists get access to high-speed internet connections.

Da Nang follows in the footsteps of its neighbouring province of Quang Nam which began offering free wi-fi service in Hoi An town last March.-VNS
