Delhi college, villages to get free wi-fi by year end

In some good news for the Internet-savvy, the city's colleges, including ones under Delhi University, and villages will avail free wi-fi facility by the end of this year.

In its maiden budget, the AAP government has set aside Rs 50 crore for the free wi-fi project to be executed in colleges and around 300 villages of the national capital in the first phase.

"As per plan, we will complete the first phase of free public wi-fi by the end of this year but I expect to complete it much before the schedule. Government websites will be free and limited access of other contents will be provided," Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia told PTI.
