Bring on board the digital 'left behinds'

By Luigi Gambardella | China Daily | Updated: 2018-11-09 09:46

Similar to Europe, free WiFi connections are also available in China. In cities and tourist sites, we find free hotspots in hotels, popular restaurants and caf��s. Airports and large train stations in China, too, provide free WiFi connection, even if only subscribers to Chinese mobile operators can connect.

According to Wiman app, China has 681,153 free WiFi hotspots. But the state of New York alone has, according to Wiman, more than twice as many free WiFi hotspots: 1,574,124. Yet numbers are not the real issue. The real issue is that, in China, hardly any free WiFi hotspot can be found in villages or towns.

This appears to me as a paradox, as China today is the leading country in terms of digital innovation and manufacturing.
