Interesting method that the City of Morro Agudo (SP) found to decrease the delinquency of city residents. Just keep the accounts up to date with the city, you can browse a wireless network for free . Not bad, huh?
Morro Agudo have free internet access
One condition is that the tenant is current on municipal accounts
Residents of Morro Agudo are getting much easier to access the internet. Who owns the computer can use the service without monthly fee and without the need of a provider.
The free access to all was possible because a device that enables wireless Internet was installed in a tower in the city, after two years of research at the Department of Informatics at City Hall. The investment was £ 10,000.
To access the internet free the resident must have in addition to the computer, network card, cable and an antenna to receive the signal. Included with the installation, the kit costs on average $ 250 in specialty stores.
The experiments indicated that the Internet can be installed in almost all parts of the city. However, one condition is that the tenant is current on the municipal accounts. The city expects that the interest in digital inclusion do reduce delinquency.
In water and sewage, 30% of the bills were overdue. In just one month of operation of the wireless Internet, 100 residents have already agreed their membership and dues.
The resident of Morro Agudo who has interest in the project should seek the city hall and fill out an application, and within five days, the internet is installed.
