New Town to get six Wi-Fi hotspots soon

Kolkata: The New Town Telecom Infrastructure Development Co (NTTIDCO) is planning to develop six Wi-Fi hotspots in different parts of New Town. Of the hotspots, one will be solar-powered and another will be a public data office, where a shop in the local market can provide Wi-Fi services to the neighbourhood areas against a small fee.

Officials said the proposed Wi-Fi hotposts will come up in the places that are a little far away from main arterial road and traffic junctions like the Café Ekante outlets situated in different pockets of the township, at the Eco urban village and other places where people spend some quality time. “Having Wi-Fi connectivity in these places will help people work using the internet,” said an official.
