a new regulation regarding access to WIFI zones in Russia

[Alexandra Smith]

Dear colleagues,

Just in case if you haven't read the latest news about WIFI access in  
Russia, here is a link to an article that explains the new regulation  
in accordance with which everyone  can sign into public WiFi zones now  
only by divulging the number of his/her  
passport:http://tvrain.ru/articles/podkljuchatsja_k_wi_fi_v_obschestvennyh_mestah_razreshat_tolko_po_pasportu-373709/

On a humorous note: one of Bykov's poems written last year features  
WIFI in an unusual context:

All best,
Alexandra
