Thua Thien-Hue Province's VNPT is co-operating with VNPT Technology to install a wireless internet wifi infrastructure in the city, said the province's VNPT director Duong Tuan Anh.
Anh said the average wifi signal coverage area will be about 300 to 1,000 metres in diameter.
During the six-month testing time, tourists and local people will be offered free access to public services and free travel information
After that, the province's VNPT will set prices for value added and other services, and customers will be charged money via a card to be able to access the internet.
Enterprises benefiting from wifi service in tourism spots will have to sign a contract with investors to pay for the fee.
Hue city has become the fourth place in Vietnam to install public wifi, after Hoi An ancient town, Da Nang city and Ha Long city.
