Trai pushes for 2 paise per MB public Wi-Fi across the country
Trais initial plan is to offer internet at 2 paise per MB under the new wi-fi scheme.
India's telecom regulatory authority is planning to deploy Wi-Fi across the country. This is in order to provide internet access at affordable costs for people. The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) will tie up with small entrepreneurs, communities, individuals and organisations to provide high-speed internet, according to a Times of India report.
Will Trai's model on scaling Wi-Fi hotspots work?
While globally the number of Wi-fi hotspots has increased by 568% from 2013 to 2016, in India the number is still lower at 12%.
