Starting from 1 October, all users need to identify themselves when accessing the Wi-Fi network in UT buildings, including the library. This requirement proceeds from the contractual obligations with the EENet and its aim is to maintain the security of our computer networks. Internet use in the buildings of the University of Tartu has been free of charge already for more than 10 years. So far, the visitors were able to use the UT-public network without any personal identification.
