Inching closer to the fulfilment of its Wi-Fi promise, Delhi government has proposed to provide free Wi-Fi usage up to 1GB for a month. Ashish Khetan, vice-chairman of Delhi Dialogue Commission, said that the government will provide free Wi-Fi in all government and private colleges within one year, as part of the first phase. Speaking on 'Wireless Broadband Vision Forum' at FICCI Federation House in New Delhi, Khetan said that in second and third phases, public Wi-Fi will be provided in rural areas and unauthorised colonies respectively. "The minimum speed of the Wi-Fi that we are proposing is 1Mbps for good user experience and each user should get 1GB of downloads for a month free... In the first phase, which should not take more than one year to complete, free Wi-Fi will be available in both private and government colleges in Delhi," he said.   PTI
