Dear members of BestBits list,

I'm not sure if you know about this, but the new mayor of São Paulo (João
Dória) wants to change the rules of the public policy that sustains open
and free Wi-Fi access in squares and public spaces. His plan is to monetize
over the metadata and personal data of those citizens that access the "open
wifi". The plan has been heavily critized by digital rights activists (see
here

and here)

Now the City Hall has opened a public consultation about the rules of the
partnership with the private sector.

We need urgently some good examples of other cities that implemented
partnerships with the private sector and respected privacy and personal
data protection.

If you have some materials (official documents or papers that explains the
personal data protection policies in such open wi-fi initiatives), can you
please send me?

Thanks for your attention.
