Bengalureans to get free WiFi one hour each day: Karnataka deputy CM

Bengaluru: Bengaluru, India’s information technology capital, will get free WiFi services for one hour each day, Deputy Chief Minister of Karnataka CN Ashwath Narayan said on Wednesday.

The proposed scheme, which will take nine months to be implemented, follows similar efforts by Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh governments which have tried to offer data as a commodity to their people.

“There has been a consistent demand from the public, tourists and many other stakeholders to have such an infrastructure, and we are finally delivering,” Narayan, also state’s minister for higher & medical education, IT & BT, Science & Technology said on the sidelines of the ongoing Bengaluru Tech Summit.
