Nowon-gu, Seoul (District Mayor Oh Seung-rok) is expanding the areas with public Wi-Fi installations. This initiative aims to help reduce communication costs by allowing anyone to use free Wi-Fi in public places.
The newly installed locations include a total of 62 sites such as Danghyeonbit-gil, Haneul Park, Indeok Village Children's Park, Gamnamu Children's Park, Dandelion Children's Park, Brain Lesion Disability Vision Center, and Daycare Facilities for the Disabled, focusing mainly on public facilities with high foot traffic and good accessibility.
