Freespots is the wi-fi Strategy for the Saint John region that encourages the growth of wi-fi hotspots throughout the city to cover the majority of public access areas in a short period of time. By encouraging businesses and property owners to invest in this relatively low cost service, the city will benefit by creating an attractive business environment that enables citizens and visitors to work and play online from anywhere they choose. It is our expectation that unlimited widespread access to wi-fi is in our near future and we wish to speed its growth by promoting and encouraging those who invest in this strategy. There are no fees required to participate.

Freespots encourages local businesses to install and maintain wi-fi access points according to an established standard and promotes participating businesses and city property owners that have installed wi-fi hotspots according to the standard. This web site has been developed to feature participating locations and various venues and events will promote the strategy and its participants over the long term. Locations can be registered as Freespots at any time.
