This approach also enables us to create a \u201cZAP\u201d which is specific to a smaller area within the Mont\u00e9r\u00e9gie.\u00a0 For instance, a municipality with several ZAP hotspots could ask us to create \u201cZAP name of the municipality<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n In spite of this name change, our mission remains unchanged.\u00a0 We are still members of \u201cl\u2019alliance communautaire du sans-fil (Alliance CSF)\u201d which regroups close to 200,000 users and 700 hotspots in the province of Qu\u00e9bec.\u00a0 We aim at providing free wireless internet service to users at reduced cost for the hotspot owners because we are a non-profit organization<\/em>. We believe this is a win-win arrangement for the users and the hotspot owners.<\/p>\n So don\u2019t be surprised if, in the near future, you can\u2019t seem to find \u201cMont\u00e9r\u00e9gie sans fil\u201d.\u00a0 Simply log into \u201cZAP Mont\u00e9r\u00e9gie\u201d.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Following an announcement in our February article, the process to change our name from \u201cMont\u00e9r\u00e9gie sans fil\u201d to \u201cZAP Mont\u00e9r\u00e9gie\u201d has started. \u00a0We expect that most sites will be modified by mid-April.

\nWhy this change? ZAP is an acronym for Z<\/span>one d\u2019A<\/span>cc\u00e8s P<\/span>ublic (hotspot) and was developed by \u201cZAP Qu\u00e9bec\u201d.\u00a0 We believe that it clearly reflects our mission.\u00a0 Furthermore, the designation \u201cZAP\u201d followed by the geographical area is already used in the province with \u201cZAP Sherbrooke\u201d, \u201cZAP Qu\u00e9bec\u201d and \u201cZAP Bas St-Laurent\u201d.\u00a0 Our use of the ZAP acronym will increase its visibility.\u00a0 With our name change, there will be 450 ZAP hotspots in Qu\u00e9bec with thousands of users.<\/p>\n
