There’s a surprising lack of free wi-fi in Germany, especially considering how developed the country is. That’s because of a German law that makes network providers responsible for any illegal activity. Sure, this protects intellectual property and cuts down on piracy…but it also makes lots of places afraid to have free wi-fi. You know who’s not afraid to have free wi-fi? Protestant churches, that’s who. And hey, if you decide you wanna stick around for a mass or something, that’s totally cool, too.
To commemorate the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther’s Reformation, all Protestant churches in the former East Germany (220 in Berlin, and eventually 3,000 total) will offer free Wi-Fi to guests. And yes, they’re calling them “Godspots.” Because humor is important when marketing your religious institution.
