WI-FI IS GOING TO BE A KEY BUILDING BLOCK IN INDIA'S DIGITAL EMPOWERMENT

摘要

According to you, how important is Wi-Fi in India's digital empowerment? Internet penetration in India is still very low if we compare it with the rest of the world. I strongly feel that if India really wants to be a digitally empowered country, Wi-Fi is going to be a key building block as there is a severe lack of infrastructure for home broadband and consistent wireless coverage. Wi-Fi is unique as it is an inexpensive data-centric broadband access technology available in the majority of de- < vices shipped today. This makes Wi-Fi a high potential technology for low-cost data access and rural communication services for the masses.
