All you need to know about Centre's nationwide public Wi-Fi network plan
This Central government's scheme is called the Prime Minister Wi-Fi Access Network Interface (PM-WANI) and is being seen as an attempt by the government to elevate wireless internet connectivity in the country. The scheme would enable our small shopkeepers to provide WiFi service. This will boost incomes as well as ensure our youth gets seamless internet connectivity. It will also strengthen our Digital India mission.
The government on Sunday approved a framework for the proliferation of public Wi-Fi networks through PM Wi-Fi Access Network Interface or PM WANI scheme. The initiative aims to elevate wireless internet connectivity in the country.
As part of this scheme, the government aims to provide internet connectivity through Public Data Offices (PDOs). The scheme aims to not only boost the “ease of doing” business but also will do the “ease of living.
"The scheme would enable our small shopkeepers to provide Wi-Fi service. This will boost incomes as well as ensure our youth gets seamless internet connectivity. It will also strengthen our Digital India mission," PM Modi said in a tweet.
India added more than 300 million internet subscribers between 2005 and 2020, making it amongst the world’s fastest-growing internet markets. However, of these, only 23 million have a wired internet connection. So the next revolution in connectivity necessitates reliable and inexpensive internet for the masses, enabling India to leapfrog from the current digital divide, which has important social and economic implications.
