In the next three years, residents of Hong Kong will be able to access the Internet everywhere they go – at the park, on a bus or at the city's harbor.

The Office of the Telecommunications Authority (Ofta) is making two additional radio spectrum portions available for broadband wireless access via WiMax, as well as 3.5G for mobile phone users, to be rolled out over the next three years, The Straits Times reported Monday.

Making broadband accessible everywhere is aimed at making Hong Kong an “advanced wireless city,” the Sunday Morning Post in Hong Kong reported.

A single WiMax tower can provide wireless Internet up to 48km away, the article reported, according to Asia Media. At least six licenses will be auctioned off next autumn by Ofta. Companies who win the bids will have two years to set up their services.
