Will Dubai go Wi fi?

Cities like Philadelphia, Taipei, Pune and Bangalore have realised the potential of establishing a wireless network for residents/tourists which will make internet as accessible as basic amenities like water and electricity.
It would have perfect sense, economy-wise and marketing wise for Dubai, if it followed the same route especially when some companies are implementing it free of cost.
But then, the disfigured mint-with-a-hole always stands between us and technology.
