Ride the Tenerife tram for free Wifi

The tram to La Trinidad

In Kentucky, they're dying to get free Wifi: in the cemetery (Via Microsiervos).

In Tenerife you don't need to do anything nearly as drastic, nor wait quite as long (which is a first for these islands), because some of the Tenerife trams began offering free Wifi to passengers (Via ABC) on Saturday, May 17th.

Four trams - which they say are clearly labelled and the capability will be announced (in Spanish, naturally) at all the stops - were fitted with 3G broadband Wifi for a one month trial period. The official release says that once the pilot project is concluded, they will confirm the extent of future coverage to the rest of the fleet, in total 20 vehicles, and for an indefinite period.
