AW: [governance] 20th century arrives in Geneva

Tue Mar 5 12:13:15 EST 2013

You mean "the 21st century", right? I acquired my first WiFi card in 2002, I
believe, and I don't think it has been widely in use much before 2000.

Some good news today for people who will be visiting Geneva in May-June for
IGF, CSTD, etc.

Begin forwarded message:

Wi-Fi at the Palais

The Palais des Nations in Geneva is a building where 9'962 conferences were
held in 31 of its rooms in 2011 where side by side some 1550 officials,
delegates from 184 Missions and 97'192 visitors cross.

The Information and Communication Technology Service announces you that in
addition to conference rooms, all important common areas in the Palace are
now fully covered by Wi-Fi.

The designation  < Internet > corresponds to the  WiFi network in use at the
Palais des Nations.

 The official designation will be < UNOG-Public-WiFi > as of 18 March 2013
at 7a.m.

Wi-Fi has become essential for wireless access to information, allowing
constant communication through the usage of mobile phones, smartphones,
tablets or laptops.

>From now on, delegates or officials can always access the web from the
following areas:

. Pregny Gate

. Press Bar

. Delegates Bar

. Palette Bar

. Serpent Bar

. Library

. Cafeteria

. Corridor between door 6 and cafeteria

. Corridor between the third floor of Building E and Delegates bar

. Hall Door 4

. Hall Door 6

. Hall 13-15

. Hall 14

. Hall des Pas Perdus

. Hall Building E - 2nd floor

. Hall Building E - 3rd Floor

. Restaurant 8th floor

. Visitors Service Hall

. Staff Development and Learning Section Rooms

A second phase aiming at a larger coverage of the building is under study
for 2013.

This would cover a large number of offices and also a park area in front of
the library and the cafeteria.
