Belgian rail company SNCB is today running the first tests for wi-fi on the train. Telecoms minister Alexander De Croo and mobility minister Jacqueline Galant are on board for the test drive, together with rail boss Jo Cornu and commercial director Bart De Groote, writes De Morgen.
SNCB will soon launch a pilot project providing free wi-fi to passengers on the route between Liège and Ostend. If all goes well, the company aims to equip all trains with wireless internet by 2019 at the latest.
