French operator Free begins phasing out community Wi-Fi network

Wednesday 6 January 2021 | 10:36 CET | News
Iliad subsidiary Free plans to switch off its FreeWiFi Secure service over time, reports Universefreebox citing Iliad's founder Xavier Niel. The operator had already signaled the withdrawal of its community Wi-Fi network with the decision to exclude it from the list of services available to subscribers equipped with Free's latest broadband boxes, namely the Freebox Pop and the Freebox Delta. The move has partly been motivated by decreasing usage, at a time when LTE connectivity is readily accessible.
