I agree that it is horse shit, but I would like to know why the media promoted this idea.

That's WiMax not WiFi. WiMax requires receiver dishes. Wi-Fi is the signal you receive from a 100m radius wireless router.

Bitola (especially the Korzo) is full of Wi-Fi Hotspots (as is Skopje and Ohrid). Mostly theyre provided by T-Mobile. It is a great promotion for Macedonia given the amount of instant facebook photo uploads you can do.
