From a Reuters correspondent: "Amsterdam's Web surfers could soon be liberated from their home computers and Internet cafes, with plans by a start-up firm to make their city the first European capital where laptops can hook up anywhere to the Web. HotSpot Amsterdam launched a wireless computer network on Monday with a supercharged version of the WiFi technology that is used to turn homes, airports, hotels and cafes into Web-connected "hot spots"...

Nowadays, a positive outlook on European newspapers sounds bizarre! Not for IFRA and Cecilia Campbell who says that "mobile communication is an area that no paper should ignore, it's a market that is growing quickly and anyone with content, a brand and a customer base should be able to capitalise on it." A lot of data and reports from Amsterdam, Stockholm... in this smart paper.
