This year, the government reportedly provides free Wi-Fi connectivity via PHP 1.4 billion project of the Department of Science and Technology – ICT Office (DOST-ICTO). Therefore people who live outside of Minila can access the free wifi. Here’s definitely good news for you.

According to DOST-ICTO executive director Louis Casmbre, this event will be started in June and completely finished by November.

Therein, under the plan, the region of providing free wi-fi will be town plazas, transport terminals, school yards, hospital lobbies, national and local government agencies, and public parks.

There will have three level: 50MB at the entry level, 100MB for people who can provide a valid government ID through web registration as well as 300MB a day for people e who have a digital ID as obtained through the National Public Key Infrastructure program.

According to ICT Office chief, the three-level access is only created to conserve bandwidth and to widen the reach of e-government services. It seems that the government don’t wanna interupt the market.

“The project is designed to be non-compete with the private sector, we do not want to disrupt the market. One purpose also of the levels is really to incentivize e-government, as the digital IDs will allow government services to be used electronically,” he also said.
