The European Commission grants 120 million euros for the wireless Internet in municipalities of the EU, said the EU Commissioner, Maria, Gabrielle, ON AIR.
"For the first time Europe directly helps local municipalities," explained the Commissioner.

In conversation with Milena Milotinova she said in the beginning of 2018 the EU will give the first 1,000 vouchers for Wi-Fi.

"The idea is the following, for 120 million euros 6000 and 8000 municipalities across Europe will receive vouchers for free Internet access in public areas on your own - the library, community center, hospital or Park. I very clearly showed my team that want a simplified form that even a mayor in a small municipality could do this without consultants and intermediaries ", said Mariya Gabriel.

The other important thing that you need to know the mayors, is that the principle will be first reached and maintained. That is why I urge mayors to be active, to ensure that, when they started form and an Internet portal to which they can be contacted directly. I hope that the municipalities will be among the first to apply, that gives them the right to be among who will receive vouchers," said Commissioner for digitization.
