The YEA has also done a lot to support and bolster entrepreneurship in Jordan and the region. (We covered them earlier here). [...]

WiMAX is a particular standard of WiFi that allows for wide areas to have wireless internet connectivity.

While Google’s campus may have it, the city in which Google is in does not. Mountain View, CA boasts a few areas where Google offers free WiFi.

But to date, there is no city that I know of to offer free WiFi to all of its inhabitants. Dubai likes making big statements, this is one I’d support.

Is that what you mean? Or do you mean that ISPs will provide citizens with free WiFi access in certain hotels; office buildings and as such?

But Google’s campus (in Mountain View) has WiMAX, and I’ve heard quite a while ago that there are plans to immerse San Fransisco in WiMAX as well, so I doubt that Dubai is the first city in the world to have WiMAX.
