Use of Wi-Fi networks at government premises such as libraries and sport facilities has increased, said Duncan Pescod, Permanent Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development (Communications and Technology) Saturday.

Quoting government statistics, Pescod said monthly usage in number of GovWIFi service connections has increased from around 59,000 in July 2008 to about 210,000 in May 2009.

In response to user demand, the government will provide Wi-Fi facilities in 30 more premises, including venues of the Hong Kong 2009 East Asian Games, major district parks, community halls and centers, and a few more government offices, he added.

The GovWiFi program has been rolled out in some 350 government premises as scheduled, providing around 1,500 Wi-Fi hotspots, according to Pescod.
