Subject: [SEELANGS] a new regulation regarding access to WIFI zones  in Russia

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:
