The City of Luxembourg, capital of Luxembourg, a small country bordered by France, Germany, and Belgium, has created a free Wifi infrastructure called Hotcity. The Wifi service has been live since July 2007 in a small area of the city, and from December 2007, more access points will be added to cover the train station area.

By 2008, free Wifi access will be available anywhere in the city, thanks to 400 access points.

The interesting part about this project is that Hotcity will provide location-based services, which will be launched during the Christmas period, to allow users to easily locate shops, restaurants, or bars.

This platform will also be open, an API is available to allow developpers to build applications that users can use when using Hotcity’s WiFi access, which is great.
