Mayor Ray Wallace flicking the switch
HUTT CITY COUNCIL NEWS RELEASE
24 JUNE 2013
Wi-Fi fans take to the Lower Hutt streets
‘’We want Wi-Fi…bring us Wi-Fi…We love Wi-Fi,’’ yelled a group of mock protestors as Lower Hutt’s central business
district came alive today for the launch of free Wi-Fi.
Mayor Ray Wallace says Wi-Fi will put some zing into the CBD as he flicked a switch to officially declare the
availability of free Wi-Fi.
The rowdy group walking through the streets complete with banners demanding Wi-Fi was part of an awareness campaign by
Hutt City Council.
‘’We are proud to partner with Smartlinx3 bringing another Technology Valley® initiative to the CBD,’’ says Mayor Ray
Wallace.
‘’Everyone is on the move with mobile devices. People will be able to connect and undertake business outside their
office.’’
In keeping with the theme of technology, one lucky browser will have the chance to win an iPad 2. Competition details
will be on the sidewalks within the Lower Hutt Central business district Wi-Fi zones.
Wi-Fi is now available in High Street, from Waterloo to Laings Roads, Margaret Street, Bunny Street, Queens Drive and
Dowse Square.
