WiFi partly de-licensed in Kyrgyzstan

The Civil Initiative on Internet Policy (CIIP) says that last month, Kyrgyzstan's National Commission on Radio Frequencies eliminated license requirements for WiFi devices which use an integral antenna. However, licenses are apparently still required for WiFi devices using a "remote" antenna, and "a certain type of permission" is still needed for all WiFi systems in the capital city of Bishkek. These rule changes are said to be "the result of more than a year of efforts and intensive work of Public foundation 'CIIP'..."

A briefer report in ITday attributes these changes to Commission decision 41/4 (6 April 2006).
