On Tuesday 3 June 2014, Dialogic hosted the second congress on public WiFi, in collaboration with the Digital Cities Agenda and the municipality of The Hague. During this highly interesting event, moderator Reg Brennenraedts introduced event organizer Rick van Oosterhout, Govroam specialist Paul Francissen, and 'ethical hacker' Wouter Slotboom, among others. Topics of discussion included regulating the WiFi spectrum and the security of the WiFi protocol. Slotboom made it clear in a concise five-minute presentation that the latter is not as straightforward as one might think: dozens of devices were found inadvertently logged into Slotboom's WiFi sniffer.
At the end of the meeting, five public WiFi providers pitched their services, including Ziggo and City Wireless in partnership with KPN. The day concluded with refreshments; it was a well-organised event in The Hague Lobby!
