EU regulations against free urban WiFi clouds?

Perlomeno curioso. Sarebbe interessante sapere cosa ne pensano i comuni italiani che le stanno realizzando...

Dublin leaders stopped a plan to cover the Irish city with a free WiFi cloud, in part because European Union regulations seemed to prohibit it, “contrary to EU law on state aid.” (Note, too, that the plan was also terminated because, as with most of the USA experience, it didn’t pay for itself) (via BoingBoing) [From EU regulations against free urban WiFi clouds?]
