“The Prime Minister has said India should be digitally empowered and for this purpose, I seek the state governments’ cooperation in realising PM’s dream,” Prasad told reporters. The minister added that the next Wi-Fi destination will be Taj Mahal.
“We are planning to invest Rs 7,000 crore over 2-3 years to provide wi-fi services in major cities and tourist destinations across the country,” BSNL CMD Anupam Srivastava said.
The state-owned company will be providing free Wi-Fi service for the first 30 minutes in a day for maximum three occasions in a month for the same mobile number.
After free usage, a customer can pay Rs 30, Rs 50, Rs 90 and Rs 150 for a validity of 30, 60, 120 minutes and one day, respectively.
